A missed opportunity

Sorry, this was a shallow, simplistic film that had so much potential. It's as if the writers and the film makers let their zeal for 50's nostalgia and visual simplicity cloud the enormous socialogical ramifications of sexual entertainment, first amendment rights and the working girl dilemna. Betty Page was the first bondage model, do you know how many young women pose for bondage photographs now, tens of thousands at least, possibly 100's of thousands, and in the 1950's she was one of the first and the most popular. The film doesn't even touch on this, you would think Betty Page was a minor blip on the radar of soft core porn, don't believe it, she is world famous and the pin up queen of ten million youth from several generations. Betty Page was a goddess, far far more beloved and worshiped and sought after than probably any other sex kitten ever photographed; she is the biggest underground superstar who ever lived. Do the film makers not believe this, maybe they just aren't into sexual fantasy. Just look at the way they treated John Willie in the movie; do they even know who he was and what his legacy is?

She did not live a boring, sad, tragic life, she was so far ahead of her time that even the film makers still don't know it.
