Product Description

Bettie Page was Americas favorite and most photographed pin-up model of the 1950s, and achieved her greatest success as Playboys January 1955 centerfold. It was however her association with fetish photographer Irving Klaw, that would change her life forever and established the cult icon status she achieved to this day. Bettie Page Dark Angel recalls in episodes, her last three years as a pin up queen, her mysterious disappearance, and faithfully recreates in Irving Klaws original style, many of her now lost classic bondage films.

Paige Richards is Bettie Page!

Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2010

Right off the bat I don't understand the reviewers on Amazon rating this 2 disc combo & Paige's performance as poor. I don't buy that at all. In fact her performance is excellent. Yes it was a little over the top & she could have put a little more realism in various kinky scenes rather then dumbing it down so everyone in the house got that it wasn't real but a recreation of scenes acted out 50 years earlier. Still isn't that the director's job? This 2 disc package for the uninitiated is a different take from the Gretchen Mol biopic, do you get that? That version was watered down & frankly though it had its moments it did drag in places.This version Bettie Page Dark Angel wasn't as dark a story & played up the sexuality more & it should because that was what really cemented an unknown loyalty between us & bettie ( though I suspect she was unaware of what all the fuss was about). Aside from the story the first disc has pictorials & various bondage , domination & wrestling scenarios. Disc 2 involves & recreates a number of the classic Bunny Yeagher shoots from back in the day. Video of Bettie posed with a Leopard at the Miami Zoo is scary realistic. If you doubt Paige's dedication & spirit in this project, check out the claw marks on her leg, the way she constantly smiles & how easily she follows the direction of a less then patient Bunny. While were at it notice how Bunny ( seemingly morphing back to the 50's) calls Paige Bettie on several occassions. Sounds pretty convincing to me. The second disc besides Poolside shoots & the like has an interesting one on one session where Bunny Interviews Paige & I appreciated the effort. Both discs offer picture sets that are viewable, disc one deals with the story & various Kinky scenes where disc 2 deals with Bunny's more mainstream pics, shoots at a pool, a zoo & as a maid. You pick your favorite. As someone who has been a Bettie Page fan for over 30 years it's my opinion this collection more faithfully tells Bettie's story during her highlight years & Paige's face & body as well as attitude ( on & off set) astoundingly & accurately portray Bettie Page the woman who never took a bad picture better then anything to date. Five stars from a guy who knows the score!

Great Subject..poorly done

I was excited when I heard about this film..I am a big Bettie fan. As a rule I buy anything Bettie but had I seen this film before I bought it..I would not have. The acting is stilted and really like a bad high school play, and the lead actress Paige Richards reminds me at times of Julia Sweeney. (IT's PAT!) ha ha

If you are like me and buy anything Bettie, buy and enjoy, but if you are looking for a great bio film on Bettie..this ain't it.

IT'S A GOOD MOVIE, BUT COULD BE MUCH BETTER. IT IS A MOVIE ABOUT NUDE PHOTOGRAPHY, BUT WITHOUT ANY NUDE PHOTOGRAPHY, SORT OF LIKE A CAR MOVIE WITHOUT ANY CARS. LEAVES YOU UNSATISFIED.

A look into the life of one of the worlds most influential pinup models. It's strange to think that this simple country girl from Tennessee is still influencing the world even to this day.

Good Stuff!!

First and foremost, do not treat this piece of work as a mainstream film, and therefore judge it on those terms.

It is not a film in the traditional sense of the word, but a well-worked homage to Bettie Page and the work of Irving Klaw in general, and on these terms, it works well.

Yes, the "acting" is not great, but Paige Richards does a decent job as Bettie, considering she not a professional actor, but at least she is authentic, as Richards is a bondage / fetish model by trade and looks a lot like Bettie of the time.

The real plus points are the black and white recreations of the original Irving Klaw bondage / domination / catfight scenes.

In fact, I would challenge any mainstream director to recreate these famous scenes any better than is presented here. Well done Nico!!

Overall, a good homage to Bettie Page, shot on digital video so it looks great, and definately a worthy project.

PS : Emily Marilyn is also HOT!!

I just loved everything about this movie , The recreated "lost bettie paige" movies were incredible and
the acting excellent.
The movie itself shows a different time and the very different atmosphere, socially and otherwise which existed
during those times . and it does it very well.
anyone who purchases this movie will I feel enjoy it very much.

Disappointing. Get The Notorious Betty Page instead.

Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2010

Verified Purchase

This is simply a refilming of the old 1950's Betty Page fetish loops - in black and white. No nudity. Why not just watch the originals?

The only worthwhile thing on this disk is the old Bunny Yeager film on How to Pose Nude, and the original Paige Richards material. Paige is much prettier than the original Betty Page.

I recommend The Notorious Betty Page with Gretchen Mol instead.

A Good Try But....

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 11, 2011

From the offset I just knew that this was going to be a "fan movie" of sorts and to be honest, biopic's made on whatever budget seem to leave a rather tongue in cheek appeal. Jason Scott Lee did a fair attempt at Bruce Lee albeit way too chunky and looking nothing like him, Kurt Russell as Elvis and seeing as we're talking about Bettie Page, Gretchen Mol as the lady herself in "The Notorious Bettie Page"

The aforementioned tributed stars each had a very charismatic and unique persona, very hard for any actor to pull off and to attempt a cult icon such as Bettie Page then some things should be left well alone.

Paige Richards "does a Bettie" she pouts, she poses and preens which you can't help but think that she's saying "Hey look at me, I'm doing Bettie Page" which to be honest together with the ham acting it's all very low budget B movie candyfloss and I for one didn't make it to the end of the film due to the pain caused by my toes curling too many times.

My advice if you're a Bettie Page fan?....save your money on this one and go buy "Teaserama" and see the real Bettie Page
