Directed: Lowell Shermann

Year: 1933

Nominated: Best Film

Plot in 25 Words: My first of double entendre riddled performance of Mae West. An undercover Carey Grant tries to bring some order to the proceedings. It doesn’t go well.

In My Opinion: I spent so much of this film just waiting for the immortal line “come up and see me” only to find out I had the line wrong the whole time. “Why don’t you come up sometime and see me” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it.

Despite the quote disappointment, I did enjoy Mae West. She was very funny and totally recognisable as a different type of woman. She definitely made the part her own. Watching her was a delight.

I was distinctly underwhelmed by Carey Grant. He was not the suave leading man I was expecting.

Star Performer: Quite obviously – the one and only Mae West.

Overall: I liked the performances just fine, but the story was faintly ridiculous and forgettable.
