Marvelous Mae West And Some Great Old Songs
Set mostly in a bawdy saloon/dance hall in NYC during the 1890s, this film is a showcase for the talents of Mae West. She plays Lady Lou, a self-confident, sassy singer with a quick wit, who entertains customers with songs that have a Blues theme and were popular in vaudeville.

In this role, buxom Mae West is at her best. She struts her stuff, she wears tons of diamonds, she smiles in a slightly mischievous way, she rolls her eyes, and she speaks in a voice that is more than a little nasal. Her costumes are glamorous and flamboyant. In short, she presents an on-screen image that is wonderfully … unique.

The film’s story is thin and largely irrelevant. It involves the people around Lady Lou, some of whom are schemers and cheats. Implicit sexual references in the dialogue, and the character of Lady Lou, led the “National Legion of Decency” to push down our throats the Production Code, a wretched policy device that censored cinematic content for some thirty years thereafter.

If I have a complaint with this film it is that the story is too serious. Mae West is placed in scenes that allow her merely to recite dialogue. She is less an actress than a singer and on-stage performer. I would have preferred a more lighthearted musical theme, to play up her musical talents.

And so for me, the best parts of this film are the musical numbers few though they may be. Mae West sings “Frankie And Johnny” and a couple of other songs. One of my favorite sequences occurs about midway through the film. In what appears to be an authentically designed music hall set, an Irish tenor with a big mustache sings “Silver Threads Among The Gold”, a musical tearjerker popular with barbershop quartets of that era. The song’s sad theme prompts a man in the audience literally to “cry in his beer”. Gas lights point upward to the stage. And behind the singing tenor, a curtain sways back and forth, with product signs that read “Old Whiskey”, “Dijon Burgundy”, among others. It’s a sequence that is straight out of vaudeville. Marvelous!

“She Done Him Wrong” is a film whose story almost gets in the way of the main character, played by a legendary talent. The film is worth watching more than once, but only to see marvelous Mae West, and to listen to those wonderful songs from the bygone days of vaudeville.

Strutting Her Stuff
The glamorous hostess at a Gay Nineties Bowery saloon must face the realities of her protector’s nefarious business dealings.

Mae West, potent, vulgar & always fascinating, sashays through her best film, SHE DONE HIM WRONG, based on her hit stage play Diamond Lil (1928). One of the great cinematic boundary pushers, West is obviously enjoying herself tremendously in this period piece, as she wins the heart of every male in the vicinity. The secret of her success was that she took her art (sex) very seriously, but never herself. She was quite willing to become a self-parody, if it made her ‘modern’ ideas of sensuality more acceptable. She perhaps did not foresee the immediate results – the iron thumb of the newly enforced Production Code would descend heavily on her movie career in 1934, making only her first few films true representations of her spirit.

While West dominates the proceedings, it is important not to overlook the film’s other players. Beefy Noah Beery gives one of his typically fine performances as the saloon owner & crime boss who is Mae’s temporary lover; Owen Moore, in a very small role, is excellent as a criminal driven crazy by his jealousy for Mae’s affections. Italian character actress Rafaela Ottiano scores as a fierce Russian white slaver involved in Beery’s nefarious plots. As Mae’s maid, the wonderful Louise Beavers is able to steal a few scenes even from West.

Pretty Rochelle Hudson appears as a desperate young woman betrayed by Ottiano & Beery. Dewey Robinson has one of his better roles as a big lug who is devoted to West. W. C. Fields’ frequent sidekick, Tammany Young, can be spotted as a saloon patron and that’s Fuzzy Knight as the jaded piano player.

Cary Grant, as a Salvation Army officer, and Gilbert Roland, as Ottiano’s kept man, both have very little to do except act as handsome foils to some of Mae’s best one-liners. Both do ‘come up & see her sometime,’ but it should be noted that Roland is the only male in the supporting cast who elicits anything approaching true happy excitement from Mae, with his gift of diamonds. Grant’s bestowal of a rather paltry ring in the film’s final moments doesn’t get nearly as much of a reaction.

Movie mavens will recognize silent screen comic Heinie Conklin as a street sweeper, Arthur Housman as an inebriate & Mary Gordon as a cleaning lady, all uncredited.

Mae West’s attitude towards sexuality – forthright, unashamed and in control – could be perfectly summed up in her three solo songs: “I Wonder Where My Easy Rider’s Gone,” “A Guy What Takes His Time” and “Frankie & Johnnie.” Coupled with her obvious talent, it is hardly a surprise that she became a Hollywood legend. What is not so often acknowledged is the high price she paid for her celebrity. Keeping up the facade of being the supreme Love Goddess for 60 years was not easy to do. Trapped by her fame, Mae was unable to live a normal life. She never experienced the wondrous joys of motherhood, true emotional contentment would not be found in an endless string of libidinous conquests and she had to increasingly fight back the relentless demands of Time on her body. In the end, ancient & enfeebled, even old age was not a comfort to her. The only release from her self-imposed imprisonment was death, which finally arrived in November of 1980.
