Good Job

This was Ann Jillian's shining moment. I saw this on Amazon Prime and thought it would get funny camp like most bios. I was pleasantly surprisedI never cared much for Ann Jillian during her TV heyday. I disliked that white shag hairdo and her two dimensional chacter on Its A Living..How ironic that is become a dan watching her play the one dimensional Mae West.Jillian is fun, charismatic and endearing. She is careful to not make West into a total caricature.I don't know how historically accurate this film was, but it seems to have shown regard for the star and her struggle to find fame.

Tastefully Done

A beautiful and colorful portrayal of this iconic celeb, who did so much more than I ever knew. Watching this film taught me quite a bit and I am amazed at Mae's talent and straight up approach to the biz. She put a lot of folks in their place and was really funny. This was captured well from Ann Jillian and she had great timing in this role; nicely done. Amazing singing or soundtrack as wellAll the cast was great, just hoed they would have "went there" or shall I say deeper with some issues of sex, drugs, drink, corruption etc... but I think it aired on T. V. at first. Cheers to all involved, great costumes as well.
