SHE DONE HIM WRONG

(Lowell Sherman) “Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?” Blockbuster adaptation of Mae West’s stage smash “Diamond Lil,” with young Cary Grant as the hunk she beckons to “come up and see me sometime.” Approx. 66 min. 35mm.
2:45, 6:00, 9:15

“West's first starring vehicle, and one of her best movies… Marvellous stuff."
– Time Out (London)

“A superior vehicle for Mae West, based on her stage success and filmed by Lowell Sherman, a director whose skill in subtle suggestiveness was rendered obsolete by the arrival of the production code. There's nothing subtle, though,about West's rendition of ‘Where Has My Easy Rider Gone?’ — a number sometimes accused of having single-handedly brought back censorship."
– Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
