Mae goes West !
Oh dear - she should have seen it coming - but alas when ageing sex siren Mae West made this debacle , she was one very ill advised lady (!) which is a pity,as,had she made the movie eight years earlier,at the time of "Myra Breckenridge",she would probably have pulled it off,or at least made a better stab at it . It would still have been a "camp-fest" , but not the "night of the living dead" which resulted , when an admittedly legendary , but nevertheless octagenarian lady was teamed up with countless hordes of "lustful admirers" decades younger than she ! Despite this , there are one or two glimpses of our darling old Mae , For example ;Dom De Luise catches Mae coming out of the Gym "Hiya Marlo (Manners) what've you been doin ?" "Oh ,woikin out with the boys !" counters Mae with a customary twinkle in her voice - momentarily recapturing "my old flame" The songs , however , are dire in the extreme , and that is even for a diehard Mae West fan like myself . If you're feeling brave - watch "Sextette" - but don't say you haven't been warned !!
