"Set in the 1890s, West plays a brash barroom entertainer with a soft spot for men in trouble, especially the mission director, young Cary Grant. She unknowingly gets caught up in a murder, as well as a white slavery ring, and sets about clearing things up as only Mae can.

The 1890's underworld exists to give Mae West more diamonds.

2/4 (Indifferent).

I can understand why it's an iconic movie. Her performance is very weird, in a striking way. But if you live in a world where movies are allowed to mention sex, it kind of loses it's reason for existing. (
