DVD Reviews of Bettie Page - Dark Angel
DVD Review: Attention Bettie fans, Avoid this like a plague!
Summary: 1 Stars
To be succinct... Blech. This is not a film; it doesn't even have the quality necessary to qualify as sexploitation or a Cult Classic. This is one step above a home movie. The acting and dialog are worse than in a porno, the production spotty, the editing disturbingly amateurish, and the writer fails to do even the most basic of research into Bettie Page's life story and career! In the instances when he does stumble on an actual quote of Ms. Page's, he attributes it to refer to the wrong event! It appears the writer/director centered the few scenes of actual titillation on a number of Ms. Page's actual photo shoots, but left out some of her best-loved, most powerful, and most famous images. I mean, if you're going to ignore her best work, why even make this dreck? It seems these scenes were created as a novelty, to demonstrate that the director could duplicate the original shoots. A thousand-times better to buy compilation DVDs of the real Bettie Page in the original scenes the director is attempting to copy. Bettiemaniacs, do yourself a favor, and scratch this off your list, you're not missing anything. If you must learn something about this video, search the web for images of Paige Richards, whose physical charms (unlike her inconsistent attempts at Ms. Page's accent) are arguably the video's ONLY redeeming virtue, (although I for one do not see a strong resemblance between her and Bettie Page). My recommendation, buy Mary Harron & Gretchen Mol's -Notorious Bettie Page- on DVD, or Richard Foster's unflattering but informative biography.

Description of Bettie Page - Dark Angel
Studio: Wea-des Moines Video Release Date: 10/26/2004 Run time: 74 minutesCult Epics founder, Nico B., claims in his liner notes that he never thought he?d make a biographical film about Bettie Page?s last three years as famed pin-up star, but finding look-alike Paige Richards to play the part in Bettie Page: Dark Angel changed his mind. This film recreates Page?s trials and tribulations as an aspiring actress, by placing dramatized scenes from her life between faux bondage flicks that have the grainy, black and white quality of the long-lost real ones. Nico B. studied the remaining stills to imagine live action for these entertaining bondage films that, combined, take up over half of the movie. Scenes of Bettie (played by Paige Richards) crying to her boyfriend about her frustrations are benign as are most narrative scenes in porn. Rather, the best parts in Dark Angel are the vintage-looking fetish sequences that show Bettie as dominatrix, Bettie as a captive jungle girl dressed in shredded furs, Bettie's legs tied to a coffee tables?, and the most classic, Bettie as Pony-Slave. Of course, seeing the real Bettie would be preferable, but Richards looks uncannily similar, sharing the same sweet smile and inner radiance that made Bettie Page so famous. Plot-wise, Bettie Page: Dark Angel explains Page?s sudden disappearance from the media during a scary sequence in which horny fans and an obscenities court case slapped against her agent, Irving Klaw, leave Bettie unsure about her own safety. The kitschy premise of the film makes Bettie Page: Dark Angel a fun homage to the Queen. --Trinie Dalton
