In the summer months of 1933, Mae West - - fresh from a triumph in the box office battlefield, where she scored big with her script for "She Done Him Wrong" - - carried the victory into a new arena: the big top.
• • As Tira ["I'm No Angel"], Mae brought in reinforcements from home: her real-life maid Libby Taylor got a small role, and so did Mae's pet monkey Boogie. That's Boogie in the cage.
• • How many lion-tamers do you know who reside in a penthouse that looks like this Art Deco confection? Well, maybe Siegfried and Roy got some decorating tips from this film.
• • Released during November 1933, "I'm No Angel" toppled box office records with over $2 million in ticket sales faster than you could say "Circus Maximus" - - and that was quite a feat during the Depression.
