Not Mae's Best, But...

In turn-of-the-century New York, con woman Mae West runs Edmund Lowe for mayor against corrupt Lloyd Nolan.Mae West's last movie for Paramount has her ploughing her familiar milieu, with a large cast that includes farceurs such a Charles Butterworth, Charles WInninger, and Walter Catlett. Louis Armstrong get to perform half a number, and there is a general sense of frivolity. Its premiere at Manhattan's Paramount Theater broke house records. But this wasn't the old Mae West. A little something known as the Production Code had come in, and the front office at Paramount wasn't interested in fighting Joseph Breen for the sake of a lady they knew they'd have a fight with every time, and had pushed past 40. So the zingers are not as sharp, even if second-rate West, like second-rate Marx Brothers, is still better than anything else.

appreciate the comedy

Chief of police Quade (Lloyd Nolan) has had enough of con-woman Peaches O'Day (Mae West). She had sold the Brooklyn Bridge again and she keeps doing it. Quade orders Police Captain Jim McCarey (Edmund Lowe) to arrest her, but he is taken with her charms. She promises to leave town, but instead she charms the wealthy recluse Van Doon (Charles Winninger) and his butler Larmadou Graves (Charles Butterworth).Mae West wrote the script. It's not my favorite. It is a little unnecessarily complicated. Van Doon and Graves should be her underlings right from the start. Their connection confuses me. Maybe I am missing something about these characters or maybe they are awkwardly presented. Nevertheless, McCarey simply needs more time with Peaches O'Day. This should be a rom-com. I'm not laughing at the comedy as much as I see the comedy and appreciate it.
