Gretchen Mol Provides Pseudo-vintage Full-frontal Nudity as Bettie Page
filed under: Toronto Film Festival 2005
Although the lucky attendees at the Toronto Film Festival got a sneak peek, the masses will have to wait a bit longer to indulge in The Notorious Bettie Page, which won’t be released to theaters until March 10th, 2006. Gretchen Mol has provided us with an ample amount of nudity, but it has never been as exciting or anticipated as her turn as Bettie Page. It’s like getting two hot naked ladies for the price of one. The stylish movie includes many black-and-white scenes of Mol in vintage lingerie and bikinis, but the highlight comes only half an hour into the film, when Mol is posing for a photographer in the woods. Photographers can be pretty persuasive people, and this particular one convinces Bettie to take off every stitch of clothing and take some pretty pictures. The rest of the film continues to deliver all three B’s as Gretchen recreates many of Bettie’s famous poses. Not to be missed.
