The Notorious Bettie Page
In an incandescent performance, Gretchen Mol (The Shape of Things) stars as Bettie Page, who grew up in a conservative religious family in Tennessee and became a photo model sensation in 1950s New York.
Bettie's legendary pin-up photos made her the target of a Senate investigation into pornography, and transformed her into an erotic icon who continues to enthrall fans to this day. Complemented by an ensemble cast of acclaimed actors, such as David Strathairn (Good Night, and Good Luck) and Lili Taylor (High Fidelity), the film brings to vivid life Bettie's fascinating world.

- " It was often said that even when Bettie Page was nude, she wasn't naked. Same is true of The Notorious Bettie Page. Visually stunning. Enjoyable. Funny. Entertaining. And clothing optional. " – Debbie Lynn Elias
- " A wonderful celebration of the legend known as Bettie Page. " – Felix Vasquez Jr.
- " A subtle, understated study of a complex individual. " – Anton Bitel
