She Done Him Wrong (1933) ***

This is Mae West at her purest and most-quotable: "Come up sometimes and see me", "You can be had", "When women go wrong, men go right after them", "Finest woman that ever walked the streets", "Diamonds is my career", to a man who wants to hold her hand - "It ain't heavy, I can hold it myself", "Ever met a man who could make you happy ?" - "Sure, lots of times", "You bad girl" - "You find out". Songs include:

"Silver Threads Among The Gold" *
"I Wonder Where My Easy Rider's Gone" **
"A Guy That Takes His Time" *
"Frankie And Johnny" **
