Customer Reviews of Goin' to Town
Wit An interesting, funny film about a cattle rustler's widow (Mae West) who schemes her way into high society. Probably conatins the average witty snappy remarks.
MEDIOCRE WEST.
A saloon singer inherits a ranch, strikes oil and crashes high society in pursuit of a husband and respectability. Mae extended her vocal range to the big aria (or an approximation thereof!) from Saint Saen's SAMSON AND DELILAH, but she seemed more at home singing HE'S A BAD, BAD MAN, BUT HE'S GOOD ENOUGH FOR ME!. GOIN' TO TOWN didn't startle West's fans by straying too far from her usual story of an ambitious woiking goil rising from rhinestones to diamonds, and took pains not to shock censorship groups - too much. Mae could no more be separated from sexual insinuation than Donald Duck from his quack, but her shafts of wit were now toned down noticeably from the outrageous to the merely naughty; the audience reaction to the film was similarily subdued. The movie made plenty of money, however and in 1935, West was the highest paid woman in America (her income reached - an astonishing - for 1935 - $480,000). Theatres prospered with this William LeBaron production in 1935, but unfortunately, Mae's pictures were becoming more and more whitewashed, predictible and generally mild in the entertainment department; it's a shame the censors killed her ribald style!
