A great star descends into self parady
The people who liked this movie seem to have done so in blind devotion to Mae West. Whilst their devotion is understandable hear it is entirely misplaced.An aging West is trying to portray the roles she did in the increasingly distant past in amongst a low grade farce involving former husbands and lovers.An intresting member of the cast is Timothy Dalton playing a British Secret Service agent (basically James Bond) his performance here should have been warning enough that he was never given the role for real.He's an aside though the film stands and falls on Maes performance and that's its biggest flaw she was past her prime and comedic best and rolling out tired gags and lame catchphrases (including the infamous "Come up and see me sometime" line) are no way to remember such a sterling talent
