5 out of 5 stars A lot of fun!.......2006-06-12

Beautiful film quality, and the interviews with the old roadshowmen, Dave Freidman and Dan Sonney, are hilarious. Ned Beatty is the perfect choice as host/narrator. A lot of fun from beginning to end.

3 out of 5 stars Fun but not terribly informative.......2006-03-04

As a fan of exploitation films, I was excited to see this documentary. Unfortunately it is merely fun, without any clear thesis. Particularly annoying is the fact that the filmmakers don't identify the film clips, so that one who is unfamiliar with exploitation films would not be able to find any of the individual films that interested him or her. Also, more focus is put on nudity than is necessary; the effect is to "undersell" drug films, eugenics films, and white slavery films, among others. (Indeed, the documentary does have considerable nudity, although it's usually fairly innocuous.) A much, much better introduction to exploitation films is Eric Schaefer's book " 'Bold! Daring! Shocking! True!': A History of Exploitation Films, 1919-1959." Watch this documentary for fun; read that book for information.
