Go West Young Man (1936)

When her limousine breaks down in a rural area, a movie actress (Mae West) is forced to stay in a local farmhouse until her car is repaired. But when she spots a hunky mechanic (Randolph Scott), she's not so eager to leave. Based on the play PERSONAL APPEARANCE by Lawrence Riley and directed by Henry Hathaway (TRUE GRIT). This is one of West's better vehicles. Although the production code had pretty much gutted her risque innuendos at this point in her career, the script allows her to parody her image and gives her a chance to act a little rather than just play "Mae West". The farcical elements also add a different sort of comedy than usually found in her films. There's even a movie within the movie as a rapturous audience watches their favorite movie star. The supporting cast is also excellent and includes Warren William, Alice Brady, Lyle Talbot, Isabel Jewell and Elizabeth Patterson.
