Narrating the twisted tale of a backstage double murder, Gypsy Rose
Lee, the queen of the striptease, provides a tantalising glimpse
into the underworld of burlesque theatre in 1940s America. When one
performer is found strangled with a G-string, no one is above
suspicion. A host of clueless coppers face off against the
theatre's tough-talking guys and dolls, and when a second murder
occurs, it's clear that Gypsy and her cohorts will have to crack
the case themselves. A dazzling and wisecracking murder mystery
noir that was the basis of the 1943 film Lady of Burlesque,
starring Barbara Stanwyck.
