From the synopsis of the Bettie Page Reveals All website:
Make way for the most photographed pinup, nude, and fetish model of the 20th century: Bettie Page. Her exuberant sensuality fired men's deepest desires while singeing camera lenses. The attitude Bettie dished out in her fetish photos was so incendiary that she was targeted by a 1955 Senate investigative committee as a source of teenage-induced depravity. How would that committee feel if they knew her body of photos would be credited with helping to inspire the Sexual and Feminist Revolutions of the 1960s and 1970s? From countless magazine covers, to religious crusading, to incarceration for mental illness, this is the enthralling true tale of Eisenhower Presidential Era model, Bettie Page. It transcends the wildest of fictionalized notions. Her life experiences ranged from idyllic legends to nightmarish realities. All the while, Bettie hid her private life from fans — until Bettie Page Reveals All. Bettie Page’s previously unknown personal life is as dramatic as her modeling career is iconic. Bettie Page Reveals All compellingly captures the story of an aspiring teacher turned model who unintentionally affected contemporary pop culture. ...

What sort of feelings do you expect people to have? As of today, this film is a non-entity that's been a work in progress since 1996. Some people think Mark Mori will never get his act together to finish it. And then there's the problem of how Mori plans to deal with Bettie's countless cover stories. Just because the title claims to "reveal all" does not mean the public will learn anything that's not already known about Bettie. She took countless secrets to her grave. Many think that he's just going to extend the fairy tale created by Essex and Swanson.
