## Description

In an incandescent performance, Gretchen Mol (The Shape of Things) stars as Bettie Page, who grew up in a conservative religious family in Tennessee and became a photo model sensation in 1950s New York. Bettie's legendary pin-up photos made her the target of a Senate investigation into pornography, and transformed her into an erotic icon who continues to enthrall fans to this day. Complemented by an ensemble cast of acclaimed actors, such as David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) and Lili Taylor (High Fidelity), the film brings to vivid life Bettie?s fascinating world.

    Somewhat uneven, but superby acted
  

*by M***I on Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2015*

I recall seeing Page in some of my uncle's 'mens' magazines when I was growing up in the 1950s, so when I came across this film my interest was piqued. I cannot say one way or the other how accurate this portrayal of Page is, nor can I verify if the time sequences are correct. What I do know is comparing photos of the real life characters and the actors the resemblances are remarkable. Especially Mol who is a dead ringer for Page.The movie focuses on Page's involvement with the Klaws (brother and sister Paula and Irving), and her segue from photography model to short film roles that appealed to a specific demographic. There is a lot of time also devoted to the morals and mores, including laws during her era that have long since been repealed or struck down. It seems as though some of the focus of the film is a more prudish era using Page's story as a vehicle.There are some flashbacks that provide insights into Page's character, and possibly explain the person she had become at the end of the film. However, every scene portrays her as bright, but naive. There is a sweetness about her, but there are some hints that she rationalized what she was doing as well and found solace in that until she found more solace in the church.Some of the flashback scenes allude to her possibly being molested by her father, as well as her being raped early on. In the former case, it's only alluded by brief shots that suggest, but do not actually show any physical contact. Those are done mainly with facial expression and body language. Mol pulls that off masterfully. The rape scene, too, is not explicit. There is no doubt that it happened, but it was tastefully done (or as tasteful as a rape scene can.)The only nudity scenes are not so much salacious as innocent, and are brief. I especially liked the fact that there was no true gratuitous scenes in the movie. Everything was filmed to portray Page's life, although, as I said, that portrayal does not tell the full story.Finally, the cinematography is superb. A bonus feature of the film explained how different film stocks were used to depict different periods and locales. For example, the Miami scenes used a 50s style stock that gave those scenes a true sense of being there (if you grew up in that era.)You'll come away with some sense of who Page was as a person during a specific part of her life. You will also come away with a respect for Mol's acting and overall production values. In some ways I am glad that Page's later life was not covered because it was somewhat sad and, according to some sources I checked, plagued with mental problems. Despite the uneven quality of the storyline I still recommend this film for folks interested in Page or the period depicted in the film.

I’m a big fan of Betty Paige. Learned things I never knew and the actress that played her was spot on stunning.

    I loved this film
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2018*

As a fan of Bettie since the 1970's, I loved this film. It showed the story of her life that most fans (myself included) always wanted to know. Although, in this age of information overload and internet availability and social networking, most fans today know more about Bettie than most fans did in the 50's, 60's, 70's, or 80's, this film still told us all a few things we did not know before. No one ever knew that Bettie had been molested by her father, or that she had been gang raped, mainly because she kept that part of her life secret. It wasn't until the makers of this film spoke with her about making the film that she opened up and mentioned these facts so that the film would be more accurate than not about her life. I admit that this film does not mention any of her later failings in the 1970's, but I am OK with that. I love the fact that this film ends with her becoming a born-again Christian just as the 1960's are about to begin. As a matter of fact, I would go so far as to say that this film just may be the best ever recruitment tool for Christianity - Here we have the queen of pinup models, who also posed nude and in fetish photos, who eventually gave up what could have been a more promising career, and gave up her fame, for the solace of Christ! Again, I love this film and highly recommend it to anyone interested in the real life story of this greatly admired star.
