Description:
Betty Page was the top pinup queen of the '50s, fabled in poster and postcard, featured performer in three burlesque films, and probably more we can only dream about. This disc features numerous exotic dance films Betty did between 1951 and 1956, serving as something of an historical record of the burlesque arts as you're not likely to see elsewhere. Clips of Betty abound from the films of Irving Klaw (you can't make up names like that), including Varietease, Striporama, and Teaserama, and six 8mm or 16mm shorts that have all the resolution of a Muybridge motion study. Although the provocative nature of the dances is quaint by modern standards, Betty has the kind of quality that stands the test of time, making this collection indispensable for aficionados of our erotic past. It's funny, sassy, catty--an important cultural-historical record and a quaint fantasy aid all rolled into one. --Jim Gay
