Bettie Page Reveals All

Awesome details of a major personality in her own words (plus those of some of the people who knew her). You could consider her a tragic figure because of her mental health issues later in life, but I think she made it out OK. Outstanding work.

I'm sure many of Bettie Page's legions of fans would agree that they fell in love with her the moment they laid eyes on her. For me, that happened in the mid Nineteen-Eighties when the late comic book artist Dave Stevens helped to stir up a revived interest in her. Even though her whereabouts were unknown at the time and she was obviously many years my senior, my impression of the sweet personality conveyed by her images always made me feel like maybe I could have won her heart, if only we had been contemporaries. I'll bet a lot of guys had similar feelings. This excellent documentary brought back a lot of those bittersweet feelings, and at the same time made me very happy that Bettie got a chance to tell her story before she died. Even as an older woman in her eighties, she isn't ashamed to admit that she enjoyed her sexuality as a younger woman. And even though deeply religious, she was still proud of her career as a pin-up model. She lived a life that had no shortage of hardships, and yet she clearly had no regrets. This documentary is a loving portrait of a beautiful woman who truly had a Joie de vivre, and it's a joy that carries over to the viewer. This is one movie I will revisit time and time again.

I Met the Lovely Ms Page at her final Days. The DVD IN REG Format is nice. Blu Ray the look is better and it is a Personal Choice for the buy.

Bettie Page Reveals All is worthwhile viewing for Page's fans. The final third is the documentary's strongest section. It covers Bettie Page's later years after she leaves modeling and film. The earlier segments cover the same territory as the biopic The Notorious Bettie Page; however, they offer also interesting commentary about mid-20-c social context. I am glad to have watched Bettie Page Reveals All. Bettie herself is a commentator in the movie. She did not always give many interviews, so her words are valuable.

The film definitely sets out to tell Page’s version of events, rather than construct a purely objective history. It’s here to admire, rather than analyze. Still, it rarely appears skewed or skips unflattering details. It’s also fairly comprehensive, covering her entire life story in detail that can perhaps be best described as “good enough.” The disc is also loaded with extras that are, alone, worth the price. All in all, I’d call it a must for Page fans.

I was fortunate enough to see this documentary on the big screen at an independent movie theater. It's amazing. It is so insightful to hear Bettie Page tell her story in her own words, and there is a stellar cast of well known people who are interviewed about her as well. It is exceptionally well made, and I'm really excited to have it on Blu-ray.

Worth a purchase.

Although it is very disconcerting to hear Bettie's voice (old-lady Tennessee drawl) as she narrates her own life story, this documentary earns top marks for its completeness, its forthrightness about Bettie's many personal struggles, and, most of all, for its generous sampling of her visual charms in many provocative still photos and in numerous "wiggle" videos. Plus, the soundtrack is excellent; thanks to the inclusion of an instrumental called "Casbah" by a kooky surf-guitar group called Los Straitjackets, I discovered a "new" group that has been around for over 25 years. Bettie--Your smile (and everything else) will be around forever. P.S. to too many people around the world: Please note that, unlike you, I have spelled "its" correctly.

This an interesting look 'behind the scenes' so to speak about Bettie, her life, and her career. The only problem I have with it is that, too often (and the same can be said for others like this) the background music and noise is often too loud to hear the narration or speaking properly. Different settings on the TV screen and/or player don't seem to help. Other than that, I really enjoyed it.

Die DVD ist toll gemacht mit Filmszenen und Fotos aus den 50er Jahren. Das die DVD nur in Englisch erhältlich ist stört nicht. Auf Spiegel Geschichte lief eine gekürzte Fassung. Toll für alle Bettie Page Fans.

Que l'on soit un fan ou que l'on ait juste aperçu sa jolie silhouette sur des produits dérivés, Bettie Page ne laisse personne indifférent. Elle a inspiré les artistes et son choix d’abandonner sa carrière en pleine gloire pour disparaître durant de nombreuses années a fait couler beaucoup d’encre. Ce documentaire permet de dissiper pas mal de mythes car ici, c’est Bettie qui se raconte. A travers des documents d’archives, des interviews, on découvre cette personnalité hors du commun et bien en avance sur son temps. Passionant.

This is a wonderful DVD documentary about the iconic 1950's Bettie Page "the Queen of Pin up models". Her personal story may surprise many of you as she reveals some of her darkest secrets after she went into obscurity after her 1950's modeling career. A wonderful lady and personality who forever changed the photography industry as well as the notion of what beautiful really means and is. Great movie over all.

DVD arrived in a week. Bettie was a fascinating human. Quality of DVD is excellent.
