03/21/2022 Goin' to Town was a okay film. But compared to Mae West's previous artistic films, this one seems inferior compared to Night After Night, She Done Him Wrong, I'm No Angel, and Belle of the Nineties. While the film had a funny line or two it shouldn't be considered that funny. Goin' to Town had forgettable musical numbers as well. Overall, Goin' to Town was just an average film. See more georgan g 12/28/2021 I like this film not only because of Mae West being a role model for women, but also because the plot was complex compared to most of her films. What she has is moxie. Something to always cheer about when it's coming from a female. See more 12/14/2020 Per the usual, Mae West carpet-bombs the movie with her hilarious one-liners, but along the way she takes us to the Wild West, Buenos Aires, and Southampton. She's American nouveau riche trying to buy class, whether it's buying an aristocratic name or singing a lead role in an opera, but along the way she's consistently, delightfully hilarious.

Her One Liners Make her movies, otherwise, she's kinda Gross See more 01/10/2007 It's true, you know. Mae West--certainly as she acts in this movie--[i]is[/i] trash. She's good-hearted, certainly, but she's still trashy. Oh, she wants good things, but she's got low tastes, and she's not, despite what she says, intellectual. She's trash. She's a good person regardless, but she's out-of-place in the circles her new wealth affords her. Then again, quite a lot of the people in the circles [i]aren't[/i] good people. They're just different. They've been exposed to different things than she has. It's not that I don't think they might have things in common. It's that . . . I can't even explain what I mean. You aren't supposed to sympathize with Delilah, for one. You just aren't. She's intended to be the villain. I can see her point, I think, but still. I'm not sure I could have a conversation with this character. She's not half so friendly as she was in the last movie, though I wonder how much of that is based on the corner she's being pushed into. I just couldn't think of marrying someone based on a roll of the dice (it's my problem with one of the plot lines in [i]Friends[/i], too). I wouldn't marry someone for a title. There are better ways to climb the social register. I guess the problem I have is that she treats men as toys. Even the one she says she wants. It's a game. It's one she plays very well, but it's a game. Though, now I think about it, that's pretty much exactly as anathema to me as the way the rich treat it in this film--as a way of life. I don't understand either, I guess, and it's hard for me to get into it. See more Read all reviews
