Description:
"Why don't you come up sometime and see me?" Screen legends Mae West and Cary Grant heat up the screen in the racy comedy She Done Him Wrong! Nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award®, this classic from the pre-code Hollywood era follows a brash saloon singer (West) with a penchant for troubled men - especially the mission director (Grant) who wants to reform her. The unabashed queen of the double-entendre shines in her first starring role, in what has been called "Mae West's best film" (Leonard Maltin's Classic Movie Guide).
Amazon.com:
In her first starring film vehicle, She Done Him Wrong, Mae West is Lady Lou, a saloon singer and "slick article" who drives every man who sees her mad with desire. She positively oozes sex, but always with sly, self-mocking humor. Lady Lou remarking on the nude painting of her hanging over the bar: "I gotta admit that is a flash, but I do wish Gus hadn't hung it over the free lunch." West warbles several numbers in her Brooklyn-accented, sweetly nasal voice, accompanied by her famous suggestive roll of the eye and flip of the hip: "Frankie and Johnny," "Easy Rider," and "A Guy What Takes His Time."
Based on West's Broadway play Diamond Lil, the film is set in the Gay '90s, "a lusty, brawling, florid decade, when there were handlebars on lip and wheel and legs were confidential." The corny plot involves the eternal male rivalry for Mae's favors, as well as a white slavery ring that is shipping unsuspecting girls to the Barbary Coast. But the movie's real treat is the cat-and-mouse game between West's Lady Lou and the Hawk, a detective disguised as a missionary, played by a devastatingly handsome young Cary Grant. West: "Why don't you come up some time, see me? I'm here every night." Grant: "Yeah, but I'm busy every night." West: "What're you tryin' to do, insult me?... You can be had."
In She Done Him Wrong, Mae West is absolutely in her prime. Her one-of-a-kind intermarriage of eroticism and humor, worldly wisdom and scalding wit are presented with perfect panache. --Laura Mirsky

This is not as good as any of the other Mae West movies I have seen,
but still worth watching.

"She Done Him Wrong" was the movie that brought Mae West's bawdy humor from Broadway to moviegoers everywhere and made her a Hollywood star. It was her first leading role in a film. Based on West's hit play "Diamond Lil", tempered somewhat to please the censors, audiences loved the double entendres and West's trashy glamour. It was a box office smash that reputedly saved Paramount from bankruptcy. In 1934, "She Done Him Wrong" became the shortest film ever nominated for a Best Picture Oscar, at 1 ... Read More

Never having seen "She Done Him Wrong" before (although I've heard plenty about its notoriety), I was pleased to find Mae West in top form. Yet another film based upon her notorious stage plays, it must've had quite an impact on audiences when it debuted. Although Miss West was not the first female comedian (Mabel Normand was there long before her), she was important in film history as the first female character which was strongly assertive. When others did her wrong, Mae was quick in putting them ... Read More

I eagerly watched the new DVD release of "She Done Him Wrong" which is one of Mae West's best films, and contains some of her best dialogue. One famous quote from this film "Is that a gun in your pocket, or are you just happy to see me" must have been excised from the print used for the DVD transfer. I'm surprised that Universal would use a source that has been edited. Aside from that, it's great to have this classic to view. Just wish it was all there.
