The Exotic Dances Of Bettie Page (1951 - 1956/Cult Epics Blu-ray)



Picture: C Sound: B Extras: C Films: B



Bettie Page fans will rejoice over The Exotic Dances Of Bettie Page (1951 - 1956), a high definition collection of some of her most memorable dances captured by the lens of Irving Claw - who was hailed as the King of Pinups. Though Page's fame came later in few life, this is a nice collection of silent films with Bettie looking better than either as she strips down and is set to a 1950's style rock 'n' roll lounge-type soundtrack that captures the time.


16 Exotic Short Films are on the disc. Note that some of these films spell her name as "Betty" while later ones spell her name as "Bettie": Return of the Teaser Girl, Betty's Clown Dance Part One and Two,Flirtatious Dance by Betty, Peppy Graceful Dance, Betty Waltzing in Satin Scanties, Betty High Heel Dance, Tambourine Dance, Joyful Dance by Betty, Betty's Hat Dance, Dream Dance by Betty, Bettie's Lingerie Tease Dance Part Two with a Bonus: Kamera Club Films, Betty Page Nude, Bettie Page in Black Lingerie, Bettie Page in White Lingerie, and Bettie Page in Black Lingerie.


Shot originally on the regular 8mm film in what is known as black & white/monochrome reversal film (no negative, you get what you shot in the camera and it is projectable, yet copies are not always of the highest quality), Cult Epics has done a nice job of restoring these short films in 2K High Definition that look as good as they can, despite film artifacts, grain, out of focus shots, and other aspects that come with an aging print. Here at least, the films are immortalized in High Definition and can be enjoyed in as good of quality as possible, despite how small the frames are (50% smaller than the Super 8mm film format launched a decade later, to give you an idea of how tiny).


Special Features include...

Bettie Page Kamera Club Films (8mm Films in HD)

Better Page/Irving Klaw HD Video Photo Gallery

Bettie Page Uncovered: The Private Life and Photographs (Q and A with Rob Brem, Nephew of Bettie Page) 2016

Collectible Blu-ray O-Ring Silver Print


Nice to have for archival purposes, this collectible Blu-ray is a nice addition to any Bettie Page fan's collection.
