Review by P. R. Nokes for Irving Klaw Classics 1: Bettie Page Films [DVD] [1951] [Region 1] [US Import] [NTSC]
Rating: (5 / 5)
This DVD contains several short silent films by Irvin Claw, mostly featuring Bettie dancing about in her underwear. (1950’s music has been added for effect).

Be warned though that by today’s standards these are very tame, very dated, there is no nudity but if you’re a Bettie fan and are not put off read on…

The picture quality ranges from poor to awful and it’s a shame these have not been digitally remastered. That being said there are some of the better shorts here, including Betties “Clown Dance” where she fondles and kisses a rather phallic toy clown, then sits him down in a chair and dances for him.

The best thing about this DVD though are the extras – these include shorts from the Kamera Klub which are ironically much better than the main features, both in picture quality and in Betties performance.

The camera angles and direction is better, for example in one she keeps sliding down her top, smiles sweetly and pushes it back on, e.t.c.

Also of note with these extra shorts is a faded-colour short of her topless, smiling sweetly and playing with a wagon-wheel (for some reason). This is the only semi-nude film footage of Bettie about that I know of.

Although black and white for the most part, compared to Varietease, Teaserama and Bondage Queen I find these much more erotic !

In my opinion these are probably the best collection of Bettie material that’s available.
