synopsis

An intoxicating mix of private yearnings and public spectacle, A WINK AND A SMILE follows ten “ordinary” women who do something extraordinary – learn the art of burlesque dancing and striptease. Dierdre Allen Timmon's acclaimed documentary follows ordinary women who join the American revival of burlesque, where performance art and showgirl spectacle crash head-over-heels into an on-stage display of glamour and sensuality – a world where many want to go, but very few dare.
