i saw this movie at the 2006 palm spring international film festival and it be a movie and not a film since it apparently be shoot by hbo to be show on their cable network sometime this year . this movie present page a a bondage and discipline fetish pinup and b and d stag film actress who have enough talent to become a real actress . page be a little more than that and the film touch on some of her other role in model but not enough to balance out the career of the 50 pinup icon . this film be supposedly base on the book the real bettie page by richard foster . it shoot in black and white for that 1950 nostalgia feel . i have the book call bettie page the life of a pinup legend that have a lot of great photo chronicle the career of page and i must say that this movie reproduce on film and with gretchen mol a page and many of those famous photo very accurately . mol herself with the bettie page black wig and brown contact lenses be bettie page . not only do she have the bettie page look but she have the smile and characteristic of her personality that come through the camera down perfect . and her body be as close to a replica of page a possible . terrific casting . the story be kind of thin and tabloidesque and certainly could have be a lot well . but this be a pretty good tv movie . i would rate it a 7 . 0 of a scale of 10 and recommend it view when it come on tv .
