Review of The Notorious Bettie Page (2006) by Michael B — 08 Dec 2007

Now Betty Page is a girl with a real interesting story. The biographical events are laid out well enough here but the film doesn't get under her skin and show us how they really effect Betty. In fact the historic and rather candid photos of Ms. Page seem to have a level of depth and insight that this film never gets to.

That said there are some great individual scenes here and the art direction shifts with the scenes/timeline which is usually the kiss of death as far as I'm concerned but in this case it works well.
