...film is told almost entirely through testimonials, featuring interviews with everyone from a California blue-collar worker who saw his pension fund raided to former Enron VPs. The journalistic bent of the film is apparent in the filmmaker’s acquisition of internal memos, audio recordings and video footage that stand out as particularly worthwhile...
...customer base for this incarnation of sex show, according to Shamrock co-owner John, is blue-collar America, “anything from someone who works for Best Buy to someone who owns a construction company.” College students, with less cash to handle the minimum fee of over $100, don’t make up that much business except during fraternity rush season.

He provides some lustrous little essays on royal dandies, polyester, loafers and the making of Harris Tweed, which is still turned out by hand, in the Outer Hebrides. The weavers have resisted most new technology, he reports, although they have given up their time-honored method of preparing the yarn for dyeing. Chemicals have...
