Review of Sextette

Sextette (1977)
2/10
Camp trash deluxe!
9 April 1999
This movie proves my point that Greta Garbo was one of the smartest movie stars to ever live - Mae West, unlike Garbo should have wisely retired from films after her heyday in the 1930s.

Instead, West finished her career with this lousy flick.

Why do so many actors and actresses give in the temptation of making that one more film? For example - Why did Bette Davis not end with "Whales of August" - her SECOND to last film - instead of the terrible "Wicked Stepmother"? And likewise, why didn't Mae West end her career with "My Little Chickadee" instead of this bit of celluloid trash?

"Sextette" might be fun to watch on a boring, rainy day when you are home sick from school or work and want to see how many guest stars you can identify - or if you don't want to take a sleeping pill when you have insomnia - otherwise forget it!
