49. THE NOTORIOUS BETTIE PAGE (2005)
SUBJECT: Bettie Page
There are some things best left to the experts. To wit, here's EW movie critic Owen Gleiberman: ''The great joke of The Notorious Bettie Page is that it's precisely Bettie's purity — her eager, trusting wholesomeness — that allows her to radiate sexuality without a trace of inhibition or shame…. The movie says that in an era — the 1950s — that regarded sex as perversity and scandal and even crime, something restricted to the underground, it took a nice girl who couldn't see perversity (because she didn't feel it) to turn 'sin' into the sexy-sublime.''
