Mae West: Glamour in Bangor

A collection of classic MAE WEST motion pictures received high marks from an enthusiastic critic in Bangor, Maine.
• • Reviewer Christopher Smith writes: “The Glamour Collections”: From Universal, three women, three collections, 15 movies — ”The Marlene Dietrich Glamour Collection,” “The Mae West Glamour Collection,” “The Carole Lombard Glamour Collection.” So, yes, that should be enough glamour for anyone — and each is a must.
• • In “Dietrich,” fine films are assembled, including “Morocco,” “Blonde Venus,” “The Devil is a Woman,” “Flame of New Orleans” and “Golden Earrings.”
• • For Mae West, look for “Go West Young Man,” “Goin’ to Town,” "I’m No Angel,” “My Little Chickadee,” and “Night After Night.”
• • Slapstick rules in the Lombard movies . . . .
• • All three of these women were dancing — — sometimes literally, often metaphorically — — and some scenes in these collections are more than memorable — they’re iconic. In “Morocco,” for example, Dietrich dons a tux with tails and bends to kiss a woman, which caused a sensation . . . .
• • For Mae West, all she has to do is put a hand on her hip, flash her eyes and screw up her face, and she gets a laugh. It’s the surprise that comes out of her mouth, however, that sends you over the edge. Grade: A
