Synopsis

From director and co-writer Mary Harron (I SHOT ANDY WARHOL, AMERICAN PSYCHO), THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE is a provocative exploration of sexuality, religion and pop culture as she takes us into the 1950s looking at the fascinating world of famous pin-up girl, Bettie Page.

Gretchen Mol stars as Bettie Page from a conservative religious Tennessee family and became a photo model sensation in 1950 New York. Bettie's legendary fetish poses made her the target of a Senate investigation into pornography which transformed her into an erotic icon.
