This DVD contains five shorts starring Betty Page. There is no nudity on the DVD. The quality of the shorts is poor, but that's due to the low quality of the original films, so there's nothing to be done about it.

What makes this disc disappointing is that it only runs about 30 minutes (even though the disc itself claims an hour length). In addition, the "photo gallery" consists of only three pictures--all from her high school years (i.e., uncopyrighted).

What makes the disc worthwhile is, well, Betty. This might be a good disc for those unfamiliar with her work. If it turns out you don't like it you won't have wasted much time or money. Fans can get most of the shorts (and lots more) on Betty Page: Bondage Queen. Hard core fans will want it just to complete a collection.

As usual, the hype was bigger and better than the actual product. The commentary left me wondering if maybe the narrator was having a slow day. The collection of 8mm and 16mm shorts were a breath of fresh air but the soundtrack had me looking to see if the dog made a mess somewhere. This is the same company that gave you "Betty in Bondage". I am gald to have this collection all on one disk however, I will watch this with the audio off and my own music playing in the background. This collection had the potential to be something of value. Instead they took the easy way out.

This failed, if you are a Bettie fan as I am, you will be very disappointed. Soot they didn't even spell her name correctly. A few shorts that have been seen elsewhere on other collections, there's nothing new here, boring and overall a waste of time and money. I'm guess this a a public domain collection and they spelled her name wrong because "Bettie Page" is trademarked. And why is this Rated X must be to entice sales because there is nothing X on the DVD that I saw, PG maybe ... maybe.
