Review of She Done Him Wrong

I had watched a couple of Mae West's movies before but I really decided to pay attention to this one since this was the one that made her a star. Working as a singer at a dance hall among many lowlifes, she's a hoot with her many double entendres lines that were still allowed in this pre-Code era picture. And seeing her with an up-and-comer named Cary Grant doubles the pleasure of watching this. Part of the time, it does threaten to get a little monotonous when the drama takes effect but where this goes was worth it and also, you get to hear Ms. West singing her heart out especially when she gets to the "Frankie and Johnny" number. So on that note, She Done Him Wrong is well worth a look.
