IndieWire: Koch Lorber Films
has acquired all U.S. and Canadian rights (excluding pay television
rights) to Ruth Leitman's documentary "Lipstick & Dynamite,
Piss & Vinegar: The First Ladies of Wrestling." Leitman's
doc had its world premiere at Toronto's Hot Docs and then had its
U.S. premiere at this month's Tribeca Film Festival. Koch Lorber
plans a theatrical release in fall 2004 or early 2005. In a statement,
Koch Lorber president Richard Lorber said, "Everyone at Koch
Lorber is exhilarated about 'Lipstick & Dynamite,' a film that
is as provocative as it is hugely entertaining. Ruth Leitman has
made a film that celebrates the lives of extraordinary women in
a male-dominated sport." To read the article, click

in 'Lipstick & Dynamite.' 'We were the baddest of the baddest!'"

Variety film review: "Smart
