She Done Him Wrong (1933), directed by Lowell Sherman

Picture
****

Mae West is ultimate bad girl Lady Lou, the singer in a Gay Nineties saloon that stands next door to a church mission run by a very young Cary Grant.  He wants to save Lou's soul; she wants to corrupt his. Meanwhile, a girl tries to commit suicide, a counterfeiting ring kicks into operation, a criminal escapes, and a woman is stabbed to death. All in just 66 minutes.  Given all that happens, you might think the movie is fast-paced, but it isn't really until the very end. On the other hand, it doesn't need to be:  West is racy enough on her own.  She's intelligent, witty, poised, and buiguilingly self-confident, and the film is as bawdy as it is delightful.  The shortest movie ever to be nominated for Best Picture.
