Kino-Lorber will be releasing 1980 women's professional wrestling film Below the Belt on Blu-Ray on 9/24.
Official details: "Below the Belt is a gritty and humorous drama about life on the road as a female professional wrestler, in the tradition of Rocky (1976) and Fat City (1972). Based on the memoir To Smithereens by Rosalyn Drexler (who wrestled as the "Mexican Spitfire"), it is a realistic and moving take on the highs and lows of life on the mat. Rosa Rubinsky (Regina Baff, Excape from Alcatraz) is a natural at fending off unwanted sexual advances while working at a sports arena concession stand. So when she's discovered by promoter Bobby Fox (John C. Becher, Gremlins) and trained by real-life legend Mildred Burke, Rosa soon finds herself competing in the turbulent world of pro wrestling."
