Night After Night (1932) **

This otherwise very forgettable film about a gangster (George Raft) who falls for a sophisticated society gal, has one redeeming quality - Mae West in a small supporting role (it was her first film). She literally steals the movie from its stars as a vulgar, wisecracking, candid and refreshing gun moll who won't be pushed around. She became a instant star as result of this appearance.
