“An entertaining look at a genuinely offbeat subject.”—Christian Science Monitor
Lipstick & Dynamite is a fond look back on a bygone era for women's wrestling. This film takes a look at the trailblazers of the sport--the women who bucked tradition and became wrestlers in the 1940s and '50s. All-time greats such as The Fabulous Moolah, Gladys "Killem" Gillem, and Ella Waldek look back on their fascinating careers, their recollections veering dramatically between good and bad times. Lipstick & Dynamite is thrilling, even moving, viewing, for both lifelong fans and total newcomers to the sport. The score is by Neko Case.
