Goin' To Town (1935)

After she inherits millions, a former saloon singer (Mae West) attempts to break into high society after she falls for a titled Englishman (Paul Cavanagh). Not one of La West's better vehicles but entertaining enough. By 1935, the motion picture production code was gutting the sexual entendres and suggestions of her first films, the ones that made her a box office star. A watered down Mae West doesn't do either her or the audience a favor. Still, she manages to get a few Westian zingers in: West: "For a long time I was ashamed of the way I lived", Man: "You mean you reformed?", West: "No, I got over being ashamed". The highlight of the film is a production of Saint-Saens' opera SAMSON ET DALILA with West singing Delilah! Directed by Alexander Hall (MY SISTER EILEEN). With Gilbert Emery, Marjorie Gateson and Ivan Lebedeff.
