Review of The Notorious Bettie Page (2006) by Emmi K — 03 Aug 2010
Gretchen Mol was born to play this part. I don't think many other actresses could have captured Bettie Page in the way she has here. Its interesting how the director, Mary Harron, explores the innocence in the type of photography and films Bettie Page did.
The people that made them were not the sick perverts that we imagine, they were honest people just trying to make a living. Harron also wisely sidsteps a lot of the cliches associated with the biopic genre by keeing the film small.
Its an interesting story about a very different time.
