Sextette (1978)

A famous Hollywood actress (Mae West) is on her honeymoon in London with her sixth husband (Timothy Dalton), a British aristocrat. But the honeymoon is interrupted when the U.S. government asks her to sleep with a Russian diplomat (Tony Curtis) in order to facilitate world peace. Based on a play by West and directed by Ken Hughes (CHITTY CHITTY BANG BANG). Oh, the horror! This necrophiliac "comedy" is a train wreck that you just can't tear your eyes away from. The 84 year old Mae West can barely walk and reputedly had to wear an earpiece because she couldn't hear and had to have her lines fed to her. Yet we're meant to believe that incredibly, she's so sexy every man is lusting after her. When the 28 year old Dalton woos the 84 year old West, it's downright creepy. The musical numbers look like they were hastily put together for a TV variety show. Yet you're riveted to the screen by the awfulness of it all. A sad swan song for one of cinema's great comediennes. With George Hamilton, Dom DeLuise, Walter Pidgeon, George Raft, Ringo Starr, Alice Cooper, Keith Moon, Rona Barrett and Regis Philbin.
