00:04:09Ah, you're squinting.
00:04:10Don't look into the sun.
00:04:12Look at the camera.
00:04:12Okay, run your fingers through your hair.
00:04:22Open your eyes wide open.
00:04:24One hand in your hip.
00:04:25And smile.
00:04:26And smile.
00:04:28Well, we're finished here.
00:04:34This would be crazy.
00:04:36Thank you, Madeline.
00:04:39Well, go have fun with your boyfriend, he's waiting so patiently.
00:04:44So, Armin, what'd you think?
00:04:50Beautiful as ever.
00:04:51So, you can spend a few more days here?
00:04:55No, you don't have to get back to work.
00:04:58Oh, well, we'll just have to make the most of the time we have.
00:05:01Maybe I'll come back someday.
00:05:07What's up?
00:05:08I'm like, okay.
00:05:08I think I'll see you next time.
00:05:12See you next time.
00:05:15Bye.
00:05:18I'm out.
00:05:20Okay.
00:05:21And then, if you're...
00:05:21I don't know.
00:05:22I don't know what I'm going to do.
00:05:22I don't know.
00:05:23I don't know.
00:05:24I don't know.
00:05:25Sorry.
00:05:25You're welcome.
00:05:26I don't know.
00:05:27I don't know.
00:05:28I don't know.
00:05:58Hello, Irvin.
00:06:09Good afternoon, Betty. How was your trip?
00:06:12It was fabulous, but you know I always miss New York.
00:06:15Well, you're too late today, so you'll have to come back tomorrow.
00:06:20How was your week?
00:06:21Weeks are better when I put out pictures of you.
00:06:24Stop joshing me. See you tomorrow.
00:06:28I'm ready.
00:06:37Chop, chop. Time is money.
00:06:39I'm ready if Paul is.
00:06:42Betty, are you ready?
00:06:44I am, Irvin, but can we please have some music?
00:06:46There's no time for that. We are ready to shoot.
00:06:49I'm ready.
00:06:50All right. Action.
00:06:53I'm ready to come back.
00:06:54I'm ready to do it.
00:06:55Okay.
00:06:57Thank you, everybody.
00:06:58Good morning, everybody.
00:06:59Here we go.
00:07:08Take a look.
00:07:13Let's see.
00:10:20You look so pretty with your tan.
00:10:43You think I could go to Florida with you next time?
00:10:45Maybe if you're nice.
00:10:47I'll be nice.
00:10:49Oh, I see.
00:10:50Hey, how nice to you offer.
00:10:52So, Marvin, what do you say that we study our script for tomorrow's audition?
00:11:08I'll be right back.
00:11:09I'll be right back.
00:11:10I'll be right back.
00:11:11Okay?
00:11:12Yeah.
00:11:13Okay.
00:11:14I'll be right back.
00:11:15Okay.
00:11:16One for you.
00:11:17I'll be right back.
00:11:18Okay.
00:11:19Okay.
00:11:20One for you.
00:11:24Hmm.
00:11:25All right.
00:11:27Let's go.
00:11:28You know how I feel about you.
00:11:35With your raven hair and bronze skin.
00:11:39Hmm.
00:11:40But you know we cannot marry.
00:11:41But you know we cannot marry.
00:11:42Father would never hear of it.
00:11:44He has promised me to another.
00:11:46Run away with me.
00:11:48Sometimes I don't think you even see us as a couple.
00:11:55I do.
00:11:56I picture us happy in our home.
00:12:01A white picket fence.
00:12:03Two kids and a dog.
00:12:07I do think that way about us.
00:12:10You mean the world to me.
00:12:12I see you in my house.
00:12:17I see you in my drinks every night.
00:12:20But then Father and Mr. Reynolds come and take me away from you.
00:12:27Run away with me.
00:12:30Okay.
00:12:32So I think we did pretty good.
00:12:37Yeah.
00:12:38I hope I get the part tomorrow.
00:12:40You're going to get bigger roles than that.
00:12:43Look how popular pictures are.
00:12:45I know.
00:12:46But I want to be an actress.
00:12:48You will.
00:12:49You will.
00:12:50Thank you for having faith in me.
00:12:54So how do you like the new Spurs?
00:13:07I like them.
00:13:09What are we doing today?
00:13:11You're tying the ropes.
00:13:13Your hair looks great.
00:13:14Come on.
00:13:15Let's go.
00:13:16Come on.
00:13:17Let's go.
00:13:18Come on.
00:13:19Let's go.
00:13:20Let's go.
00:13:21Come on.
00:13:22Let's go.

00:22:28Okay, Irving, what are they saying about Teaserama?
00:22:31Well, let's see.
00:22:37Teaserama stars stripper Tempest Storm.
00:22:40Other girls include Chris LaCrisse, Twinnie Wallen, Vicky Lynn, Sherry Knight, and Trudy Wayne.
00:22:47Betty Page as the show card girl is underrated.
00:22:50She has the beauty, the build, and the presence to steal my heart.
00:22:54Her expressions, she's the visual, and the host, and the winner.
00:23:10Then here's some more about you, Betty.
00:23:13Teaserama is the biggest burlesque film ever.
00:23:16The sexy Tennessee tease, Miss Betty Page,
00:23:19teams up with that hurricane of delight, Miss Tempest Storm,
00:23:22in a boudoir bit that scorches the screen.
00:23:25I am convinced that there will never be another like Betty.
00:23:28Forget the comics. They're awful.
00:23:31And enjoy the ladies.
00:23:33Betty Page completely outshines the rest.
00:23:36Y'all have very big imaginations.
00:23:39Okay, listen to this.
00:23:42I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh, sexy, and flirtatious tease-a-rama.
00:23:48Miss Page always seems to be having a good time.
00:23:51The most attractive and alluring woman ever.
00:23:54Here, what about this one?
00:23:56With her girl-next-door smile and hourglass figure,
00:23:59Betty Page performs two stylized dance numbers.
00:24:02As a favorite photographer's model and a girly film cutie,
00:24:06she isn't a real stripper, but rather a lovely, come on, girl.
00:24:09Ooh!
00:24:10Betty, you're a star.
00:24:14Perfect.
00:24:15I'm being silly.
00:24:17This is to enjoy our day.
00:24:19Could you pass me the water, Earl?
00:24:21Yeah, sure.
00:24:22Here we go, baby.
00:24:23Of course.
00:24:24Here we go, baby.
00:24:25Of course.
00:24:26Here we go, baby.
00:24:27Of course.
00:24:28Hello, Wolverine.
00:24:29Yes?
00:24:30So you saw Betty in a magazine?
00:24:31Yes?
00:24:32Well, how can I help you?
00:24:33Screen test?
00:24:34Hollywood.
00:24:35For Howard Hughes.
00:24:36For Howard Hughes.
00:24:37I think she would love to do a screen test.
00:24:41The number is granny-ish.
00:24:42Yes?
00:24:43Yes?
00:24:44So you saw Betty in a magazine?
00:24:45Yes?
00:24:46So you saw Betty in a magazine?
00:24:47Yes?
00:24:48Well, how can I help you?
00:24:49Screen test?
00:24:50Hollywood.
00:24:51For Howard Hughes.
00:24:52For Howard Hughes.
00:24:53I think she would love to do a screen test.
00:24:55The number is granny-ish.
00:24:57Five, three, three.
00:24:58Hello, Miss Page.
00:24:59Good morning, Miss Page.
00:25:00I think she would love to do a screen test.
00:25:02The number is Greenwich, five, three, four, five.
00:25:07Hello, Miss Page.
00:25:27I hope your flight was a pleasant one.
00:25:29It was, thank you.
00:25:30Good.
00:25:31Right this way, then.
00:25:32Okay, thank you.
00:25:37Here are some costumes to try on.
00:25:44Pick whatever you like.
00:25:46Okay, thank you.
00:26:02Come in.
00:26:03Mr. Hughes, Miss Page is changing right now.
00:26:09Thank you, Jimmy.
00:26:11That'll be all for now.
00:27:35Okay, just tell us about yourself.
00:27:43Okay. Hey there. My name is Betty Page. I am five and a half feet tall. I have black hair and blue eyes. I live in New York City. I'm originally from Tennessee. I was the second runner-up in the Miss New York pageant in 1951.
00:28:05And I guess that's it. Thank you.
00:28:11Great. Thanks. We're done here.
00:28:22Well, thank you. So, do I meet Mr. Hughes now?
00:28:25We thank you very much for your time, but Mr. Hughes has left for the day.
00:28:28Okay. Did you want me to come back tomorrow?
00:28:31Actually, we're done. So, you can change and have a safe flight back to New York. Thank you.
00:29:07Two kids and a dog.
00:29:10I do see us that way. I think about you every night in my dreams, and it's wonderful.
00:29:16But then it turns into a nightmare when Mr. Reynolds and my father come and take me away from you.
00:29:23Run away with me.
00:29:25Okay.
00:29:25Okay.
00:29:25Okay.
00:29:26Okay.
00:29:28Okay.
00:29:29Okay.
00:29:29Okay.
00:29:30Good job.
00:33:00Are you all right, Betty?
00:33:09This Arvin had me do the strangest thing today.
00:33:12He had me down on all fours with this leather harness on my head.
00:33:17You couldn't even tell it was me.
00:33:19I wish you didn't even do the bondage stuff.
00:33:21Marvin, you know I have to do the bondage.
00:33:25I don't get paid if I don't do it.
00:33:27I don't get hurt.
00:33:28And it pays twice as much as the regular stuff.
00:33:30Yeah, I know.
00:33:31But I mean, maybe that's why Howard Hughes never called you back.
00:33:37I thought we agreed not to talk about my trip to L.A.
00:33:41I'm sorry.
00:33:44It's okay.
00:33:45It's just I want to be an actress, Marvin.
00:33:48I'm not getting anywhere.
00:33:49Hey, you know what?
00:33:52Why don't we skip the review?
00:33:54Huh?
00:33:55Who cares what a bunch of stupid critics think anyway?
00:33:57What matters is that you and I had fun.
00:34:00No, I want to hear it.
00:34:01All right.
00:34:11The dry drama, Lovers Down the Lane, starring Mr. Marvin Green and Miss Betty Page, will pass with no more notice than this.
00:34:20While Mr. Green's performance is adequate, Miss Page attempts to play a Boston socialite with a Tennessee accent.
00:34:31This pinnacle model ought to leave her clothes at home.
00:34:37I can't believe this.
00:34:39I'm going home.
00:34:40Betty.
00:34:40Betty.
00:34:41Betty!
00:35:01Betty!
00:35:02Betty!

00:35:26Betty!
00:35:27Betty!
00:35:28Betty!
00:35:29Betty!
00:35:30All right, Peggy, you're all set.
00:35:42Ready?
00:35:46Do I pass muster?
00:35:48Well, you will with one more pair of panties.
00:35:51One more? I've already got two.
00:35:52You know, I can't have any hair visible down there.
00:35:55All right. Give me a minute.
00:35:57Pa, are you ready?
00:36:00As ready as I'll ever be. The cameras are all set up and loaded.
00:36:04All right, everyone, let's go.
00:38:27That was great, ladies. We have time for one more.
00:38:32Okay.
00:38:34Does my hair look all right?
00:38:35Looks good. Let's go.
00:38:57Let's go.
00:38:57Let's go.
00:38:57Let's go.
00:38:58Let's go.
00:38:58Let's go.
00:38:59Let's go.
00:39:00Let's go.
00:39:02Let's go.
00:39:03Let's go.
00:39:07Let's go.
00:45:08Sure.
00:45:09Good.
00:45:10Do you still want to go meet those other photographers later?
00:45:14Is that tonight?
00:45:15Yes.
00:45:17Sure.
00:45:17Just let me get changed.
00:45:18Good evening, good evening, ladies.
00:45:35Good evening, ladies.
00:45:35So nice.
00:45:36I'm going to be here.
00:45:37Okay.
00:45:38I'm going to get you.
00:45:41I'm going to get you something to drink.
00:45:42Sure.
00:45:43How about for you?
00:45:46I would love a root beer.
00:45:48A root beer?
00:45:49Oh, that can't be right.
00:45:50Let me make you something stronger.
00:45:51A cigarette?
00:45:53Thanks.
00:45:54I'm going to use a glass.
00:45:55It's nice.
00:45:57No, I'm going to use the glass as a prop.
00:46:00I can't take you.
00:46:01Here's the glass.
00:46:02I'm going to take it.
00:46:03So cute.
00:46:03I'm so cute.
00:46:07I guess it would be.
00:46:08Okay.
00:46:15What do they say?
00:46:17Take some pictures, I guess?
00:46:23Oh, that's very nice.
00:46:25A little very friendly.
00:46:27Just one little sip.
00:46:29For me.
00:46:36Cheers!
00:46:38I'll shoot you in the pool, right?
00:46:40Ha-ha-ha.
00:46:41Oh, hey!
00:46:42Ha-ha-ha.
00:46:43Okay.
00:46:44I'll shoot you in the pool, right?
00:46:46Ha-ha-ha-ha.

00:47:04Ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:47:05Ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:47:06Ha-ha-ha-ha.
00:47:07It's getting hot in here, isn't it?
00:47:22Button, button. Who's got the button? How many buttons do you got?
00:47:27One. One. Two. Two. Three.
00:47:46Three.
00:47:57One. Two.
00:48:00Two.
00:48:09Two.

00:48:33Are my two Janes ready?
00:48:36Ready as I'll ever be. Ready as can be.
00:48:39Love the bikini, Betty.
00:48:41Thank you. I made it myself.
00:48:53What's up, everybody?
00:48:55I'll be back to its work.
00:48:57Okay, let me see how it was.
00:48:59I have a couple of calls.
00:49:01A little bit is out of the three.
00:49:03I'm sorry.
00:49:04One, two, three.
00:49:06One, two, three.

00:53:22Cut.
00:53:24Jean, take that gag out of her mouth.
00:53:35Are you all right?
00:53:36Do you need a minute?
00:53:37Yes, please.
00:53:38All right, let's get the stills done so we can get her down from there.
00:54:08Okay, Gene, try spanking her.
00:54:11Okay, Jean, try spanking her.
00:54:11Great.
00:54:20Great.
00:54:20One more.
00:54:23Great.
00:54:26That should do it.
00:54:30Hi, we're with the FBI, I'm Agent Burke, this is Agent Swanson.
00:54:41Hi, we're with the FBI, we're with the FBI, I'm Agent Burke, this is Agent Swanson.
00:54:53What's this all about?
00:54:54We need to ask you some questions about Irving Claw.
00:54:57Irving's done nothing wrong.
00:54:58And how do you explain these?
00:54:59And how do you explain these?
00:55:00These pictures were taken by some camera club photographers.
00:55:10Irving didn't even take those pictures.
00:55:12Here's a subpoena.
00:55:17You can explain that all in court, ma'am.
00:55:30Pinup King Irving Claw was summoned to testify before the Senate Obscenity Investigation Committee
00:55:34Thursday.
00:55:35Tennessee Senator Estes Kefauver accused Claw of distributing pornography, contributing
00:55:39to the delinquency of minors.
00:55:40Ladies and gentlemen, I call this the worst pornography of any kind.
00:55:48Mr. Claw sells fetish, bondage, whipping and torture photographs of women from his downtown
00:55:53New York shop.
00:55:54According to Kefauver, the photos are obscene by any reasonable standard.
00:55:58Because in any other words, these images are obscene, these images are immoral in any
00:56:07standards we hold in this country.
00:56:10When questioned about the 12-year-old girls on his mailing list, Claw claimed they only
00:56:14request photographs of movie stars like Jimmy Stewart or Doris Day.
00:56:18I assure you that these are for our movie star stills only.
00:56:22They are not cross-referenced with our other customers.
00:56:26Claw denied selling nude photographs, insisting that he frequently made his models wear multiple
00:56:30articles of the same type of clothing.
00:56:32In the entire history of my company, Movistar News, neither myself nor my sister, Paula Claw,
00:56:40have produced or advertised or distributed any photos containing nude models.
00:56:46Earlier, Dr. William Olson, a psychiatrist, testified that Mr. Claw's cartoon and model
00:56:52parade catalog intends to stimulate people erotically in an abnormal way.
00:56:57Mr. Kefauver summed up the day's proceedings, saying to Mr. Claw that your products fall into
00:57:01a twilight zone of obscene material.
00:57:08You still here?
00:57:10Pardon me.
00:57:11I'm here to testify.
00:57:12Honey, they all left hours ago.
00:57:14It's one o'clock in the morning.
00:57:18I wish somebody would have told me something.
00:57:19Come with me.
00:57:20I will unlock the door so you can go home.
00:57:25How are you doing, Harvey?
00:57:26Are we going to start shooting again?
00:57:27How are you doing, Harvey?
00:57:28Are we going to start shooting again?
00:57:32Betty, I'm not going to be shooting any more pictures or movies.
00:57:33How are you doing, Harvey?
00:57:34Are we going to start shooting again?
00:57:39Betty, I'm not going to be shooting any more pictures or movies.
00:58:00Well, you were cleared of all charges.
00:58:06Why not?
00:58:07I'm just too tired.
00:58:10I'm really sorry, Betty.
00:58:13Good luck.
00:58:15Well, thank you for everything.
00:58:19You too, sweetheart.
00:58:34Okay.
00:58:35You take care?
00:58:36Okay.
00:58:37Bye.
00:58:49Bye.
00:58:50Bye.
00:59:19Bye.
00:59:49Bye.
01:00:09Oh, my God.
01:00:19Hi, yeah, operator, may I have the place, please?
01:00:36Rasta, you stand here, we will go that direction, and we will be watching you the entire time.
01:00:51Do you have any questions?
01:00:52No, I don't think I've got it.
01:00:54Great, let's get into position.
01:00:57We'll be at your side the moment someone goes for the package.
01:01:00All right, I'm ready.
01:01:06All right, let's go.
01:01:36Oh, God.
01:02:06All right.
01:02:10All right.
01:02:41I don't know.
01:03:11I don't know.
01:03:41Hi, yes, operator?
01:03:59Yep, Miami Beach 50432.
01:04:01Okay, thank you.
01:04:08Armand, hi, it's Betty.
01:04:13How are you?
01:04:15Well, I've been thinking of you too.
01:04:17I'm not seeing him anymore.
01:04:24I miss you too.
01:04:28Well, actually, I was thinking about making a trip to Miami.
01:04:31I just wanted to make sure you were there.
01:04:36Moved to Florida?
01:04:37Yeah, right.
01:04:37Where would I live?
01:04:38I can't live with you.
01:04:45Not unless we get married.
01:04:51Well, we will have to get reacquainted first.
01:04:54Okay, we'll talk about it when I get there.
01:05:03Okay, okay.
01:05:05I'll see you soon.
01:05:06Same way.
01:05:08All right.
01:05:09Okay.
01:05:10I'll see you soon.
01:05:11Bye, Armand.
01:05:12Bye.
01:05:12Armand, it's New Year's Eve.
01:05:35Can't we go out dancing?
01:05:37We don't ever do anything.
01:05:39What do you want me to do?
01:05:41Look, all you care about is eating hamburgers,
01:05:43watching movies, and having sex.
01:05:46At least I'm satisfied with what I have.
01:05:49You know, we've been married five weeks,
01:05:50and I'm already regretting this.
01:05:52I am bored to tears.
01:05:54I'm sorry.
01:06:14I'm sorry.
01:06:17I'm sorry.
01:06:17I'm sorry.
01:06:18I'm sorry.
01:06:18I'm not done.
01:06:19I'm sorry.
01:06:19I'm not sure you're going to go out.
01:06:22I'm sorry.
