I'm No Angel Page #19

Synopsis: The bold Tira works as dancing beauty and lion tamer at a fair. Out of an urgent need of money, she agrees to a risky new number: she'll put her head into a lion's muzzle! With this attraction the circus makes it to New York and Tira can persue her dearest occupation: flirting with rich men and accepting expensive presents. Among the guys she searches the love of her life, from whom she only knows from a fortune-teller that he'll be rich and have black hair. When she finally meets him, she becomes a victim of intrigue.

was when you got out of jail...

you were broke, and walking on your heels.

You heel.

As for you sitting in my apartment

in silk pyjamas...

you never sat around my apartment

in nothing.

And you know it.

Answer me, did you?

Sure, I did.

- And I was seen there, too.

- Why you...

You perjurer.

I object to the witness

being harassed this way.

Who's harassing who?

I'm just asking for a square deal, that's all.

I'm asking good, honest,

and intelligent people not to take...

the word of an ex-convict

against a good, honest and innocent woman.

I object, Your Honour.

Objection overruled.

You're right, Judge.

There you are.

She's got the jury and the judge

under her arm.

They'll hand her the case on a silver platter.

- Don't be unfair.

- Unfair?

You've got so much money,

you don't mind losing this case.

But my reputation means something to me.

If ever there was a case I wanted to win,

this is it.

I told you not to put the man on the stand

in the first place.

You'll have to take stand and tell your story.

I'll do nothing of the kind.

If you feel that way about it,

why did you contest the case at all?

I'm sorry I did.

If any right-thinking man will believe

what a crook and a jailbird will say...

then there's nothing I could say

that'll make any difference.

I'm through with this guy, Judge.

Do you wish to question the witness further?

Yes. I have a few questions

I should like to ask.

- Mr. Wiley...

- Stop. Sit down.

That's enough. Call it off.

- I'll settle for the amount asked.

- You're absolutely mad.

I don't want it to go any further,

do you understand?

All right, have it your own way.

If you want to make a fool of yourself

over this woman, I can't stop you.

Don't try to.

Your Honour...

my client has requested me,

for some peculiar reason of his own...

to cease contest of this suit.

He's prepared to settle

for the full amount of the case.

How extraordinary.

I'll say it is.

- What is this, Benny?

- Don't ask me, I'm paralysed.

Sounds like a trick.

Does the plaintiff accept this motion

as satisfaction of this suit?

Okay, the plaintiff accepts it with pleasure.

In view of the agreement

between the parties...

the jury is discharged with thanks.

Case dismissed. Court's adjourned.

I'm glad you won your case,

Miss Tira.

That's our pleasure.

Wait a minute. Boys, now, take it easy.

I'll give you all the breaks in the worid

but don't crowd.

Pictures first.

Miss Tira,

would you stand up?

Of course, if it'll make you happy.

Look this way, please.

Wait a minute boys, one at a time.

I'm not twins.

Hold that pose, please.

That's it. All right.

Hold for me, please.

Thank you.

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…
