I'm sorry, madam, Mr. Clayton's gone away.

Gone away? When is he expected back?

I couldn't say definitely

but I'm sure not for several weeks.

- Is that the only message he left for me?

- Yes, that's all.

Thanks.

Hello, Tira darling.

Benny.

How are you?

You look so marvellous.

Come right in, sit right down

and make yourself at home.

Let me look

at that beautiful smile of yours.

You know about me getting married?

Sure. Congratulations.

Too late. It's all off.

Sue the guy for breach of promise.

Certainly.

- The lowlife.

- No, he ain't, Benny.

The first guy I ever really loved.

- I thought he loved me, too.

- What a tragedy.

We start proceedings immediately.

How much is he worth?

Millions.

Millions? We sue him for damages.

I ain't damaged.

I just want you to sue him

for breach of promise.

I got all the proof you want, letters, wires,

newspaper stories, even my trousseau.

For that trousseau alone we collect plenty.

It's a cinch.

When do you want the case tried?

Let me see.

I go on the road with the show and...

I'll be back in a few months.

- Better start then.

- Easy. Got the case.

Darling, you give me a few details

and I'll serve him with papers right away.

Okay. First, I'll tell you how I met the guy.

But remember in anything I say

I ain't got any real animosity for him.

Of course.

- If I was a home girl, I'd be heartbroken.

- Yes.

Miss Tira, I understand you've had

a rather colourful past.

I gotta admit I've been the love interest

in more than one guy's life.

I don't see what my past

has got to do with my present.

We shall show that

to the satisfaction of the court, I believe.

Nevertheless, the fact remains

that you've been on...

friendly terms with several men.

All right, I'm a sweetheart of Sphigma Psi,

so what?

You must answer questions directly, please.

Pardon me, Judge.

Proceed.

Do you know a man named Wiley...

generally called Slick?

Yes, I know the... The gentleman.

And you recall the man you see there?

If I'm not mistaken,

you mean that Dallas man.

And you are also acquainted,

aren't you, with Mr. Kirk Lawrence?

Yes, I had the pleasure.

And no doubt you recall

those five gentlemen...

seated in the first row

right inside the railing?

Mr. Blake, Mr. Larson, Mr. Willard...

Mr. Foster, Mr. Harris.

I do recall their faces

but them ain't the names they gave me.

Pardon me again, Judge.

It's all right.

That's all, Miss Tira.

Does the plaintiff's attorney

wish any further questions?

I would like to request recess

for about 10 minutes.

Is that agreeable to the defence?

Perfectly.

This court's adjourned for 10 minutes.

Why did you admit

that you knew all these men?

Mae West

Mary Jane "Mae" West (August 17, 1893 – November 22, 1980) was an American actress, singer, playwright, screenwriter, comedian, and sex symbol whose entertainment career spanned seven decades, known for her lighthearted bawdy double entendres and breezy sexual independence. West was active in vaudeville and on the stage in New York City before moving to Hollywood to become a comedian, actress and writer in the motion picture industry, as well as appearing on radio and television. The American Film Institute named her 15th among the greatest female stars of classic American cinema. Often using a husky contralto voice, West was one of the more controversial movie stars of her day and encountered many problems, especially censorship. She bucked the system, making comedy out of conventional mores, and the Depression-era audience admired her for it. When her cinematic career ended, she wrote books and plays and continued to perform in Las Vegas, in the United Kingdom, on radio and television and to record rock and roll albums. She was once asked about the various efforts to impede her career, to which she replied: "I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it." more…
