I was 7 years old. There was a "For Adults Only" sign outside. I remember enjoying it sans malice. I was also able to watch "Ang Galing-galing Mo Mrs. Jones". I think my "elders" were able to get me in by paying the full ticket price. I was able to watch it during its run. I was 7 years old. There was a “For Adults Only” sign outside.

Correction lang. Burlesk Queen was shown in the 3rd filmfest, not the 1st. This was 1977, a year after people were awed by "Ganito Kami Noon, Paano Kayo Ngayon" and "Insiang" in the '76 filmfest. Burlesk swept all the awards except for one. That upset a lot of people who were rooting for Mike de Leon's "Kung Mangarap Ka't Magising" (which was actually lame vs. Burlesk). And people found it too risque for the filmfest, then a serious movie competition. They thought the judging was rigged because they couldn't believe Rolly Quizon could act. Pinasauli ng Metro Manila government ang lahat na napanalunang tropeo! Cheers to a New Year! Hi, Jessica. Correction lang. Burlesk Queen was shown in the 3rd filmfest, not the 1st.

I remember its glorious cinematography which captured the filth and din of the Manila streets and steps and bridges. You're right, the Tagalog films of then were both artistic and commercial. In that distant past, I chose only to see a Brocka, a Celso Ad, a Romero and even a Zialcita film. Otherwise it would be a Holwyood. It's a pity. Today's bunch of tagalog movies come out so sad, even if they are intended to be hilarious.

Maganda ang pagkadirek ni Celso Ad. Jessica, ikaw ha, Noranian ako. Bakit mo naman nasulat "superstar" patungkol kay Vilma? Hindi ko akalain na matawag mo si Vilma nang ganon... Happy New Year to you, Miss Zafra. I saw this classic two years ago sa cable TV. Maganda ang pagkadirek ni Celso Ad. Jessica, ikaw ha, Noranian ako.
