Description by OLDIES.com:

Lipstick & Dynamite shines a spotlight on the forgotten first ladies of the ring. Gladys "Killem" Gillem, Ida May Martinez, The Fabulous Moolah, Penny Banner, Ella Waldek and the Great Mae Young each came to wrestling in their own way in order to survive. Each woman reflects on her own remarkable life with fond and bitter memories, reconciling a wild, flamboyant youth with the reality of getting older. Lipstick & Dynamite follows Moolah, Mae and the girls 60 years, many bumps and falls later as they discuss the money, the old days and what it's like to be a "lady" in today's favorite guilty pleasure spectator sport.

Product Description:

With the advent of the WWF (and later, the WWE), female wrestling entered a new phase in its popularity, with the top stars in the game earning considerable amounts of money, and taking up the sport professionally. This film takes a look at the trailblazers of the sport--the women who bucked tradition and decided to become wrestlers in the 1940s and '50s. The recollections veer dramatically between good and bad times, making some fascinating viewing for any enthusiasts of the sport. With all-time greats such as The Fabulous Moolah, Gladys "Killem" Gillem, and Ella Waldek dipping into the memory banks, LIPSTICK & DYNAMITE is a fond look back on a bygone era for women's wrestling.
