WE CAME UP TO SEE MAE AND IT WAS GRAND!!!
Mae West is one of the most brilliant talents ever to grace the Silver Screen and single-handedly saved a major studio from going under in the depression era in the early thirties! Legendary movies that are total classics make Mae one of the greatest ever top female Superstars...in her 80's Mae West once again treated us to a view of the legend and many found pleasure in this fun movie that once again gives us a chance to have a view of the classic and very legendary Mae West! God forbid anyone or any of us age...Mae was never conventional having started her motion picture career in her forties and continued the following decades doing various stage and recording projects so it wasn't surprising that Mae West would do yet another motion picture once again in her eigthies!!! Mae was still very entertaining and had the thrill of going to the preview of this delightful movie in 1978 in Westwood California & had a strong feeling Mae West would attend. A line formed & arriving early we were the red velvet ropes and soon a red carpet rolled out and media came from everywhere equiped with boom mikes that started curbside and lined the red carpet! Up came a shining limousine and out came a sparkling and radiant Mae West with a strapping guys in tuxedos on each arm...Mae in person looked magnificent and the crowd went wild...she strutted up the red carpet and stopped at each interviewer and popped off witty and very funny one liners that had everyone cracking up! Mae West looked gorgeous and we gave her a standing ovation inside of the theatre when it was announced over the PA that she was in attendance then a spotlight lit her up...luckily seated a few rows in front of Maem, got to look directly at her and give her a big smile and let out a few Bravo's...Mae was beaming and it was a magical event never to forget! Find it very sad some strangely put down her last effort to entertain and everyone loved this "over the top" entertaining movie on that great afternoon in Westwood and still do! Recently watched Sextette with a friend and we laughed and loved every moment of the Magic Of Mae West with a fun cast of amusing characters including a wonderful performance by Dom Deluise...watch how Mae lights up when George Raft appears on screen with her! Those who think that life is perfect and legends never age...get over it and get a reality check. Thank you Mae West for your genius and sharing your incredible and wonderous gifts for some seventy-plus years and for the support that you warmly gave the Gay Community at a time when few would even get close...the best in the West left behind a treasure chest of classics for us to savor and enjoy!!! If you love Mae then grab this while you can as cult favorites such as Sextette usually have a short release run...BRAVO MAE WEST!
