The Notorious Bettie Page

After staying (maybe too much) on Dita Von Teese and her wedding problems, let's go back, so to speak, to the source: she, Bettie Page, the mother of all pin-ups. The pretest is The Notorious Bettie Page, whose exit in Italy was many times announced but never fixed, while in America the movie is already archived. As long as we heard, director Mary Harron (American Psycho) put in scene the contrast between Bettie Page character, solar, innocent and ingenuous and the sado-masochistic contour of riding crops, corsets, gags and skyscraper heels. The world of “particular tastes” pornography comes painted as a workplace like any other, with a result, according to most comments, quite plain and boring, in spite of actress Gretchen Mol good interpretation. In conclusion, the real Bettie Page is and remains an unattainable myth, distrust imitations.
