She Done Him Wrong

Reviewing She Done Him Wrong was simply a ploy to finally talk about Mae West. She was a major star nearly 100 years ago and is considered an icon. This was her story idea and the film came out just before the Hays Code would prevent so many sexy outfits and double entendres to fill a movie. Ryan's monologue here focuses on how the film doesn't work because director Lowell Sherman couldn't balance the tone, plus the movie just isn't funny. There's also way too much going on in a 64-minute film and there's certainly not enough Cary Grant. And here's an unpopular opinion: Mae West is a legend who doesn't deserve to be. Sure, she's sassy and eye-catching in this, but her character is one-note and the actress apparently had no range at all. So slide into the 488th episode of Have You Ever Seen as She Done Him Wrong gets ripped into a time or twelve.
