Notorious Bettie Page, The

Aroview: Perfectly-cast and perfectly shaped, Gretchen Mol busts out as the 'notorious' Bettie Page, giving body and soul to the pin-up queen’s formative years, early New York modeling career, and subsequent success as a bondage starlet that heralded a sexual awakening in the 1950s.

Shot in luscious black-and-white with bold technicolour sequences, this indulges eye-catching nostalgia as much as the female form, with a playful tone reflecting the sunny disposition of Ms. Page herself - a carefree, vivacious and quaintly endearing Southern gal who was both a product of, and at odds with, the moral conservatism of the time.
