The Notorious Bettie Page
Relive the fifties as this biopic transports you back capturing the look, the sounds, and the attitudes of a more innocent time. Remember white gloves, croquet, and soda fountains. Bettie Page is the most famous unknown pin-up girl of 1950s. She is a smart and sweet girl from a conservative and religious Nashville family who moves to New York City to become a model and actress. Her bathing suit poses make her a modeling sensation, but her bondage pictures make her the target of a Senate investigation. The 1950s pornography world depicted here is not dirty or shameful. Compared to today’s standards, it is rather tame and even silly. Gretchen Mol gives an amazing portrayal. Rated “R” for nudity, sexual content, and language.
Alien gives it 2 ½ “naughty and nice” stars out of 4.
