Others have noted that Goldwyn's documentary was weakened by her insistence on inserting herself into the story. Two of her subjects even told her she was interpreting their stories to reflect what she wanted to see! Her intrusions made it difficult for the women to tell their stories. It was a shame, because the film could have been a vivid picture of an era in entertainment that has disappeared. Older ladies teaching their stuff to the new girl was not a bad idea, but Goldwyn let it take over the show. She also omitted all mention of one of the most famous, and most mainstream strippers; Gypsy Rose Lee! Goldwyn seems talented, but needs to grow as a film-maker.

The documentary is a form of non-fiction storytelling that aims to present factual information, insights, and perspectives on real-world subjects, events, issues, or people. Documentaries can cover a wide range of topics, including history, science, culture, social issues, nature, biographies, and more.
