I did not see this movie until it was out on HBO & Showtime but wish I has seen it sooner! Gretchen Mol does not look a lot like Bettie Page but she is still gorgeous and does a good job portraying a Pin Up girl of the 40′s and 50′s. If your into the Pin Up girl era then this is a pretty good movie to add to your collection. (Careful, not for those under 18 due to full frontal nudity). Did I mention Gretchen Mol is easy on the eyes?

When control of the air became the key to military victory in WWII, Axis and Allied pilots turned the skies over Europe and the Pacific into one of history’s bloodiest arenas. This 5-DVD set includes 9 hours of dramatic, rare newsreel footage, providing a fascinating look at the struggle for supremacy in the sky. Includes a 19-page booklet detailing the lives and accomplishments of some of the greatest pilots behind the machines. In black & white; packaged in Collector’s Edition tin.

Heres a video I found of Bettie Page circa 1950 modeling. She can really shake that thing without looking trashy. Good video quality and about 5 minutes in length. Bettie Page (April 22, 1923 – December 11, 2008) was an American model who became famous in the 1950s for her fetish modeling and pin-up photos. She has often been called the “Queen of pinups”. Her look, including her jet black hair and trademark bangs, has influenced many artists.

Virginia “Ding Dong” Bell (born 1932 in Montrose, California) is a topless model and actress. She started her career in the 1950s as a burlesque dancer. Virginia had one starring role in a feature film, Bell, Bare and Beautiful (1963), which was the product of legendary sexploitation team of Herschell Gordon Lewis and David Friedman. In it, Virginia plays a burlesque dancer pursued by Lewis regular Thomas Wood. But his attempts at finding true love with the “girl of his dreams” are thwarted by her gangster boyfriend (played by David Friedman). Wood gets around this speedbump by tracking Virginia down at the nudist camp she frequents, which is where at least half the film takes place.
