REVIEWED By Marjorie Baumgarten, Thu., June 22, 2000

Young Cary Grant is invited by bawdy Mae West to come visit her sometime in this classic West work. In this, her best film, West adapts her popular stage character Diamond Lil for the screen. The star also sings “Easy Rider” and “Frankie and Johnny.”
