Laughs (#75); Stars - Cary Grant (#2), Mae West (#15); Quotes - "Why don't you come up sometime and see me?" (#26)
Not so squeaky clean nightclub owner Mae West falls for squeaky clean temperence worker Cary Grant. Sounds a bit like Guys and Dolls, except that in Guys, the mismatch made sense. Here it really doesn't.
Mae West has a screen presence that truly is larger than life. She's a caricature of herself, kind of the classiest trash in the trailer park. Cary Grant, no matter who he's playing, is suave. He has a sophisticated charm that makes him gentlemanly and dashing. The two of them are both really good at what they do - so good that they just can't convince me that they belong together.
