Reviews
Some of it is creaky, most of the storyline is either confusing or dull, but West is a gas, and her repartee with Grant is still tantalizing.
West's Lou must rank as one of the first truly liberated women ever seen onscreen...
For West fans only; the double entendres are cute by today's standards and Grant looks great.
All the Codes in the world couldn't keep Mae West from being her typical seductive and sexy self.
She Done Him Wrong (1933), from director Lowell Sherman, is Mae West's star-making, most famous film role as a liberated, racy woman
