This gem introduced her to moviegoers, in a grand manner fitting a larger-than-life star, and began a requited love affair between a legend and her adoring public that would continue until her death. Go to Full Review

West's brassy turn, which stands in sharp contrast to her comparatively bland costars, ensures that the film suffers whenever she's offscreen... Go to Full Review

Mae West's few scenes are what everyone remembers because they're what turn a stylish, but otherwise indifferent movie into something special -- something worth remembering. Go to Full Review

Stephen C @bob25009 May 29 A failed comedy in just 1 hour and 10 minutes!!!!!!!!!!!!!! See more Jared D May 5 A typical early thirties shambles of a script and story only livened up by Mae West's too brief appearances. Until It Happened Once Night in 1934, no one knew how to write an even half way interesting script. West livens up every scene she is in. George Raft delivers his typical wooden tough guy schtick. There is a shoot out at the end. Wished they'd taken out all the main characters (save Mae). Nice appearances of a great supporting cast (Louis Calhern and Roscoe Karns included). See more Russ G Jan 15 So, this is where the "Goodness had nuthin' to do with it, Dearie!" line came from! George Raft is devilishly handsome, Miss Cummings is fetching, and Mae West is, of course, outrageous. Then there's them other mugs! Not awful for a pre-code talkie; its brevity works in its favor. Honorable mention to the always versatile Louis Calhern. See more georgan g 12/27/2021 Mae West in her first movie role. She was 39 years old. The plot was interesting.
