Chelly Wilson was a Christmas-celebrating Jewish grandma, a lesbian who married men, and a proud owner of porn theaters in 1970s NYC. Through audio recordings, Chelly recounts her pre-war escape from Greece up through her unlikely motherhood and rise to wealth as a shrewd businesswoman on “The Deuce,” aka New York’s infamous 42nd Street. Fascinating WWII and NYC archival footage illustrate this entertaining story of a family and its matriarch, a truly unique character with chutzpah in spades.

[Filmin] A nice documentary about a Jewish woman who became one of the main distributors of porn films in New York. The descendants make a friendly portrait and the film works like a photo album, but it doesn't deeply explore the nature of secrets and the double life of a lesbian woman who was married to a man whose Jewish ancestry was kept a secret for a long time to his orn family, and that resorted to the reflection of an opposite and sometimes contradictory image to achieve stability.
