Sometimes I really don't get these old classics. I kind of hated this film. It is only 60 min long so it feels like half a movie. All of the actors fall on eachothers cues and it always seems as if each actor is just waiting for the other actor to finish talking so they can say their line. It is NEVER natural. The entire film felt like a FAMILY GUY cutaway where they make fun of the attitudes, speech patterns, and accents of these old timey movies. And Mae West? Her character is pretty terrible. She is nothing more than a floozy whose loyalties lie to whomever seems to be in her presence. She isn't smart, manipulative, or even that sexy...just available to the closest man.
