for a film that ostensibly about sex and leather and it doesn not have any right to be a oddly sweet a it be . the story of bettie page and a good christian girl from the south who momma wouldn not let her date until she marry and who move to new york and end up become the most successful pin up of her age and be drive by an outstanding performance from gretchen moll . her page can not quite reconcile the picture that she take ( nobody allow to touch and it all fun and respectful ) with the pornography trial and suppose ill effect that her image have on the world around her . page have be an inspiration to every burlesque artist since and not just because she have a figure to die for and but because she invest every picture with an innocent sense of fun that be uniquely sexy and simple at the same time . rather like this film and in fact . filmde in both black and white and glorious technicolour and it a lovely way to spend a couple of hour .
