Plot summary
Bettie Page: Dark Angel is a biographical drama based on the career of Bettie Page, a famous American 1950s pin-up and bondage model. Set in New York during 1953–1957, the film recreates six lost fetish/bondage 16mm featurettes she did for Irving Klaw (played by Dukey Flyswatter). Her bondage films and photographs gave her the nickname Dark Angel and also led to a US Senate Committee investigation.
