It m a y depend on your mood. If u r a highbrow critic and only embrace "La Strada", Bergman, Fellini, Minnelli, "Cabaret" and so forth u may be the 1 giving this film only 1 point...But IF u have a sense of humour, satire and respect for ageing superstars NOT past their prime - this is the 1 for u...Naturally, Miss Mae delivers her most famous lines and there are moments of embarresment - but on the whole - she still is magnetic and of amazing vitality being at the age of 86....The supporting cast is god(Dom DeLuise a REAL TREAT) but so is Timothy, Ringo and Tony...Yup, the musical sequences are below average, but as I pointed out, is done with an awareness of humour...Many a spectator would wish Mae West had`n done this, but I must say, she does NOT come badly out of it...
