Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

RavenGlamDVDCollector Now where the hell is the 0 rating function on IMDb? Better still, the -1 option?I wasted a good long time of my afternoon watching this. I of course knew it was going to be a waste. Chasing after NIGHT CLUB, and only being able to find it as part of the "Dangerous Babes" release, I stumbled across this... this... well, there is no polite word for it. Mae West was born during the previous previous century, and research today showed that she only went into film when she was almost forty. Okay, I have it here that she was a much-beloved stage personality and she even ran afoul of the law with some risqué stuff (for that day and age) But nothing of that is on film. Had it been, I might have been interested. I only collect the works of young actresses. This, of course, is anathema to me. But even beyond my own preferences, there is just nothing of any remote value in this insipid mess. Mae West doesn't even act, she speaks her unfunny lines in a dull monotone while attempting to hop about with schoolgirl allure.It is unbelievably stupid. Dumb, really. The only explanation for it is that GrandMae never looked at herself in a mirror and still believes she is the girl she used to be in 1910, only this was 1978, two years before her death. Now, I'm all for having such self-confidence, it would carry you through life. But that there would be directors who would want to make a movie like this...? That there would be people who'd believe people would pay good money to come see junk like this? And some people actually came? And there's a guy on here at the IMDb site who gives it ten stars and escalates his enthralled review with an increasing number of exclamation marks?Future James Bond, Timothy Dalton, makes an ass of himself. I'd never be able to take him seriously again. Glad I saw it only now and not before THE LIVING DAYLIGHTS. Tony Curtis cavorts about like the ringmaster of a freak circus.The kind of movie that is an utter embarrassment on an actor's resume.I had recently seen Mae West in MYRA BRECKINRIDGE and it was a painful experience. I do suppose Mae had extremely loyal fans dating back through intense lean and hard times. Nowadays people are very quick to ridicule former idols, it's terrible, really, and shows how the world has changed.Nothing changes the fact that it is a ludicrous movie. I've never seen ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES or PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE but yelled out their names to come rescue me from the tedious trash I sat there watching. I think this is it, boys. The worst movie ever made. This is truly it. Truly.Whoever compiled "Dangerous Babes" and included this one, hoo boy, would I love to have a few words with you, fella...

tex-42 In the movie Sunset Boulevard, the character of Norma Desmond spends a good portion of the movie hard at work on a script that is eventually described as terrible and un-filmable once it is complete. I like to think Sextette is the film she was working on.I will say this, even if you are the kind of person who has built a shrine to Mae West in your home, this movie should give you pause. 80-something Mae West plays a version of herself named "Marlo Manners." Ms. Manners is an international film star/sex symbol who has just arrived in London following her marriage to a 30-something Timothy Dalton. International intrigue abounds (Ms. Manners is naturally a skilled diplomat), along with some eye opening "musical numbers" that consist of the cast dancing around Mae West, who barely looks able to sway side to side in a consistent fashion.Sextette is a campy delight, but it's also just really sad. Watching the movie, I think there is a real question as to how lucid Mae West was at this point in her life. She doesn't seem entirely aware of where she is, and her line readings are, at best, confused. Aside from those issues, the movie itself is just a bizarre vanity project for a faded film star who was still doing the same shtick in 1978 that she had been doing since the early 1900s. Overall, it's an interesting movie to watch, but also serves as a warning about knowing when to say "no" to a project.

a bradford I saw this movie on TV several years ago and thought that I would hate it after reading so many terrible reviews. It's true that this is a movie aimed mainly at Mae West fans and it was made about 40 years too late. But the production values are high and the acting is great. Mae looked good for her age and it was the only film offer she had received in a while. Like Mae said 'if I don't work what should I do, sit in a chair all day and rock'. The movie is good fun and it is nice to see Mae having such a good time. There were lots of stories being told at the time she made this about her mental and physical condition but these nasty stories which we all heard were proved to be false. Long live Mae

fab-28 This is a film that needs to be watched with your tongue firmly tucked in your cheek - something I wasn't quite aware of even though the very subject matter should hint at this before you even start watching (would a man with the money, status and looks of Sir Michael Barrington really become the sixth husband of a woman old enough to be his grandmother, even if she was as glamorous as Mae West?).Generally, the script is predictable and Mae West is basically playing herself (or sending herself up?) and, as such, makes a very good job of it. I too find it difficult to understand some people's views regarding the idea of an older woman with a younger man or men whilst they are perfectly willing to accept the very same idea but with the genders reversed.However, there are some funny lines, and the odd very funny line and visual gag, often delivered, as would be expected, by Dom Deluise but more often by Timothy Dalton. If nothing else, the film shows his ability as a comic actor. Sir Michael's misunderstood TV interviews are a highlight and had Hugh Laurie been well-known at the time that this film was made, I would have accused Dalton of mimicking Laurie's delivery.The vision of Dalton singing Captain & Tenille's "Love Will Keep Us Together" is almost surreal. I have to admit that I sat open-mouthed for the first 30 seconds. As it happens, he has the fairly good singing voice that his resonant speaking voice would suggest (OK, maybe in need of a bit of vocal training but I am sure Simon Cowell wouldn't describe him as the worst singer he's ever heard in his life - in fact, had he been in the business at the time, he would have probably jumped at the chance to make some money out of a good-looking actor with a reasonable voice!!!).If you're a fan of spoofs, particularly of the cheesy, kitschy variety, you may like it. In all honesty, it is one of the cheesiest, corniest films I have ever seen, rescued by West, Dalton and to a lesser extent Deluise. Those who think it's an attempt at a serious musical with a bit of comedy thrown in will be sorely disappointed.
