This release comes with a matted slip cover with artwork that matches the inner cover. That’s the basic gist and goes on like this over the course of the 90-minute running time.Īlthough Bettie Page: Dark Angel isn’t the worst “movie” I’ve ever seen, it’s certainly way down there with the likes of Leonard Part 6 and Spice World, although I’d give those two movies more credit for actually trying to put together a coherent story with people behind the camera with some actual passion, something that this “movie” lacks.
BETTIE PAGE DARK ANGEL MOVIE
Quick Hit Review: Alright, where to even begin… First, in my research about this film I discovered it was made for a mere $50,000 and I have to wonder where the remaining $45k went because the production values are absolutely horrible and the acting is equally terrible even though adult actress Paige Richards certainly looks like Bettie Page, which is probably the only good thing about this so called movie which just has a few poorly acted scenes followed by a photo shoot recreation set against porn-like music. It was however her association with fetish photographer Irving Klaw, that would change her life forever and establish the cult icon status she achieved to this day.īettie Page: Dark Angel recalls in episodes, her last three years as a pin up queen, her mysterious disappearance and faithfully recreates in Irving Klaw’s original style, many of her now lost classic bondage films.

The lead actress certainly has the look down but the acting is poor, although I can’t blame her too much given the director doesn’t have much going for him. DARK ANGEL accurately recreates some of the lost work in Klaw's original style.Bettie Page: Dark Angel is an all around bad movie, poorly acted and gives no insights into the character and instead is more of a porn film than anything of substance. Klaw was investigated by the US Senate, and subsequently destroyed many of his photographs. During this time she was working with Irving Klaw, the first famous fetish photographer, who made Bettie one of the first bondage models. This documentary concentrates on Bettie's last three years at a pin-up model before her disappearance. Prominently positioned in the public eye, she nonetheless ended her career in 1957 and moved to Florida under rather mysterious circumstances. Bettie went on to become the nation's most beloved pin-up model, achieving her greatest renown as a 1955 PLAYBOY centrefold. She was discovered in New York City after a difficult but triumphant childhood in Nashville, Tennessee, by an amateur photographer for whom she agreed to pose. America's sweetheart in every way, Bettie Page became an icon of the 1950s, winning hearts with a sweet smile and girl-next-door demeanor, which could quickly morph into that of a vixen in bondage, or a playful, naughty kitten.
