• • Dillon Gonzales wrote: Kino Lorber Studio Classics has unveiled the details of their June 2021 Blu-Ray releases including works from such icons as Mae West, Benny Hill, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle, Jennifer Connelly, Robert Altman, Alastair Sim, Cary Grant and more.
• • “Go West Young Man” • •
• • Dillon Gonzales wrote: Synopsis: Screen legend Mae West (I’m No Angel) stars in the screwball comedy Go West Young Man, about a frustrated actress whose amorous desires keep getting her in trouble.

• • Dillon Gonzales wrote: Movie star Mavis Arden (West) is bound by a contract stating that she cannot marry for five years, which her press agent Morgan (Warren William, Employees’ Entrance) strictly enforces.
• • Dillon Gonzales wrote: While on a publicity tour, their car breaks down and leaves them stuck in a boarding house full of odd characters. One in particular catches Mavis’ eye—the robust farmhand Bud (Randolph Scott, Western Union).
• • Dillon Gonzales wrote: Mavis seductively pursues Bud and quickly learns the ramifications of small-town gossip. Mayhem mounts as police, following a tip, suspect Mavis has been kidnapped by Morgan.
• • Dillon Gonzales wrote: Enjoying her chance to get even, Mavis concedes to having Morgan arrested. But he has got a confession that even she did not bargain for!
• • Dillon Gonzales wrote: Screenplay by Mae West and wonderful direction by the great Henry Hathaway (The Lives of a Bengal Lancer, The Shepherd of the Hills, Rawhide).

• • Overheard in Hollywood • •
• • Sarah Allen claims — — and Miss West denies — — that Mae West gave her permission to do Mae West impersonations, and then turned around and slandered Miss Allen and ruined her career by accusing her of stealing the acts.
• • In Her Own Words • •
• • Mae West said: "The story of Diamond Lil makes one think of a modern idea of the Single Standard. I believe in the Single Standard for men and women."
• • Quote, Unquote • •
• • A Kirkus Reviewer scorched a lousy biography of Mae West.
• • MAE WEST: A Biography by Fergus Cashin • •
• • Kirkus wrote: Compared to this slipshod little book (released on 15 March 1982), the somewhat dubious big Mae West bio by Eells and Musgrove looks like the zenith of serious scholarship.  ...
• • Kirkus wrote: Impossible ideas?
• • Kirkus wrote: No. But Fergus Cashin backs none of them up with research; in fact, he's done so little research that he blithely recycles the "legend" stuff he's supposed to be debunking. (E.g., Mae's story that 1920s newspapers wouldn't print the play title Sex in ads — though disproved by Eells and Musgrove, but naively repeated by Cashin.)  ...
