Iconic 1950s pin-up Bettie Page comes under the spotlight in this breezy biopic from writer/director Mary Harron (American Psycho). Gretchen Mol gives a deliciously radiant performance as the God-fearing Nashville girl whose New York modelling career evolves from saucy shots in men's magazines to short films and pictures for the fetish trade. But her burgeoning career is curtailed by the 1955 crusade against pornography of US politician Estes Kefauver (David Strathairn). Mol's wholesome Page is just one of a host of frothy characters - from comically profane British photographer John Willie (Jared Harris) to brother and sister bondage specialists Irving and Paula Klaw (Chris Bauer and Lili Taylor) - who give this predominantly black-and-white picture its considerable charm. But, unlike Harron's 1995 Valerie Solanas exposé I Shot Andy Warhol, here it's visual superficialities rather than perceptive insights that drive the flimsy narrative. The result is an enjoyably nostalgic slice of ocular titillation that barely scratches beneath the surface of its glamorous subject.
