The Notorious Bettie Page (2006) - Gemma Smyth

Movie based on the life of Bettie Page, a notorious pin-up model / sex symbol from the 1950's. With Gretchen Mol playing the title role, the story shows a very naive and "nice" girl who gets talked into taking nude photos based on her need for acceptance. It includes flashbacks to horrible incidents in her past and is a bit disjointed at times but overall was a well told story. This was not a movie I originally planned on watching but enjoyed it all the same.

Rating: 7/10
