” That’s the showbiz advice a trio of bump-and-grind ecdysiasts give the shy Louise in the timeless American musical comedy. Before you know it, the timid ingenue has classily transformed herself into a world-famous burlesque headliner known as Gypsy Rose Lee, who sensuously disrobes before packed audiences one evening glove at a time.

First-time narrative feature film director Williams is no stranger to his simpatico title character, having previously directed the 2016 documentary short about Armendáriz, “The Man Without a Mask.” This familiarity breeds empathy in, one that’s without judgment even when the character’s behavior borders on self-destructiveness just short of drama-queen territory.
