Now where the hell is the 0 rating function on IMDb? Better still, the -1 option?
I wasted a good long time of my afternoon watching this. I of course knew it was going to be a waste. Chasing after NIGHT CLUB, and only being able to find it as part of the "Dangerous Babes" release, I stumbled across this... this... well, there is no polite word for it. Mae West was born during the previous previous century, and research today showed that she only went into film when she was almost forty. Okay, I have it here that she was a much-beloved stage personality and she even ran afoul of the law with some risqué stuff (for that day and age) But nothing of that is on film. Had it been, I might have been interested. I only collect the works of young actresses. This, of course, is anathema to me. But even beyond my own preferences, there is just nothing of any remote value in this insipid mess. Mae West doesn't even act, she speaks her unfunny lines in a dull monotone while attempting to hop about with schoolgirl allure.
It is unbelievably stupid. Dumb, really. The only explanation for it is that GrandMae never looked at herself in a mirror and still believes she is the girl she used to be in 1910, only this was 1978, two years before her death. Now, I'm all for having such self-confidence, it would carry you through life. But that there would be directors who would want to make a movie like this...? That there would be people who'd believe people would pay good money to come see junk like this? And some people actually came? And there's a guy on here at the IMDb site who gives it ten stars and escalates his enthralled review with an increasing number of exclamation marks?
Future James Bond, Timothy Dalton, makes an ass of himself. I'd never be able to take him seriously again. Glad I saw it only now and not before THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS. Tony Curtis cavorts about like the ringmaster of a freak circus.
The kind of movie that is an utter embarrassment on an actor's resume.
I had recently seen Mae West in MYRA BRECKINRIDGE and it was a painful experience. I do suppose Mae had extremely loyal fans dating back through intense lean and hard times. Nowadays people are very quick to ridicule former idols, it's terrible, really, and shows how the world has changed.
Nothing changes the fact that it is a ludicrous movie. I've never seen ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES or PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE but yelled out their names to come rescue me from the tedious trash I sat there watching. I think this is it, boys. The worst movie ever made. This is truly it. Truly.
Whoever compiled "Dangerous Babes" and included this one, hoo boy, would I love to have a few words with you, fella...
