Rating: B- --
Disappointing Mae West vehicle that lacks wit and a good story.

Rating: 4.5/5 --
It's fast, fun and funny -- and the best-looking movie Mae West ever made, having the shimmery luster you only saw in Paramount movies.

The richly fascinating Miss West gives the censors something further to worry about.

Rating: 1.5/4 --
...a hopelessly forgettable effort that seems to have been assembled around a series of admittedly strong one-liners (ie the story is generic to an almost absurd degree).

Creaky and dated, but Mae West and her biting dialogue still sparkle.

Despite [West's] imitators, there is still no one like her, and as long as she's in a picture -- and in it lots -- it's good enough for me.

Product Description:
Mae West, who wrote this and a handful of other movies during the 1930s, stars as 1890s blues singer Ruby in a comic romp that follows the dazzling entertainer's quest to find the man of her dreams without being duped. Ruby distracts boxer Tiger so much that Tiger's manager asks Ruby to leave town, but it's not the last that Ruby and Tiger will see of each other. Singing such songs as "My Old Flame" and "Memphis Blues" with a sultry air in front of Duke Ellington's orchestra, Ruby projects sex and sincerity at the same moment. Using both her brains and her looks to keep herself out of the grasp of troublemakers, Ruby outwits her female competition and the male predators to emerge unscathed and with her beau on her arm. The script was ruthlessly pared by the censorship board, but Mae West slips enough double entrendres through to make this show, directed by the great Leo McCarey, a delight.
