- Synopsis:
When Mae West went to Hollywood in the early 1930's, she was already a major star. Having sensationalised Broadway, it was time for the movies to receive the same.
Go West Young Man (1936)Movie star Mavis Arden (Mae West), as amorous in private as she is pure in public, gets involved with a politician despite her watchdog publicist Morgan (Warren William). Planning to meet her beau again at the next stop on her personal appearance tour, Mavis is stranded at a remote rural boarding house, with a pretentious landlady, sensible old maid, rabid film fan waitress...and strapping young mechanic Bud Norton (Randolph Scott), whom to Mavis is just the plaything of an idle hour...
Every Day's a Holiday (1937)
The impeccable Mae West is Peaches O'Day, a con artist who befriends Captain Jim McCarey (Edmund Lowe), a cop who must turn her in unless she leaves town. The clever Peaches transformed as sultry brunette and Parisian sensation Mademoiselle Fifi. After catching the show, crooked mayoral candidate John Quade (Lloyd Nolan) tries to close it down when Peaches demurely declines his romantic overtures. Captain McCarey jumps in the race for mayor against Quade, and the loyal Peaches fervently campaigns for him. With the help of jazz great Louis Armstrong (A Man Called Adam) on trumpet, an enthusiastic Mae rallies the crowd to "Laugh, Sing and Vote!" in a delightful final scene.- Actors:
