Betty Page: Bomdage Queen is a 1998 documentary by Thomas Blackstone.
The BBFC passed the 2009 Digital Classics DVD 18 uncut.
Previously the BBFC rejected the 1999 Visual Entertainment video, The Classic Films of Irving Klaw Vol 1 (of 2), which forms part of Betty Page: Bondage Queen
The BBFC stated that this video was rejected on the grounds that the Board’s guidelines state that mild fetishism may be represented, but in Irving Klaw we have scenes of women trussed, bound, gagged, spanked, shackled, handcuffed, slapped, tethered and suspended. Such sequences of bondage, restraint and gagging (proffered as masturbation material) are very extensive and unacceptable. The distributor of this material has decided to re-edit two versions of Betty page’s work by photographer Irving Klaw that will not breach our guidelines. We are awaiting their resubmission.
Review from US Amazon: Queen of Curves
The new DVD : Betty Page Bondage Queen will be a desirable addition to any Bettie Page fan but I suppose that I was expecting the whole disk to be unpublished shots of the Queen of Curves as the title suggests. The several short movies presented are black and white films taken of some of Irving Klaw’s models in their undies, being bound and gagged by Klaw’s sister.
Betty appears in a few and in many stills. The exclusive commentary by Bettie Page is a short written page or two, not the audio file I hoped for. I enjoyed the movies of the models in their bras and panties, dark nylons and ultra high heels as they tried to walk in them but a more truthful title for the DVD would have been Irving Klaw’s Bondage and Fetish models, Featuring Bettie Page.
