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.

- But you ain't got no good cause.

Marriage is a good enough cause

for anything.

You can't do that to me

and get away with it.

No?

What's my picture doing by that skunk?

I figured it belonged there.

What do you mean?

Everybody used to call me "The Bull."

You may be the bull to them,

but you're just plain skunk to me.

I got everything set.

You get to the apartment

and see everything's clear.

All right.

But suppose Tira gets back

before we spring it.

I got the chauffer fixed...

so there'll be trouble with the car

on the road.

Now, get going. Every minute counts.

Can't you hurry and get that thing fixed,

I gotta get back.

I'm expecting Mr. Clayton at the apartment.

Doing the best I can, ma'am.

Your best is no good, try your worst.

Yes, ma'am.

Say, where are we?

I thought we were in Jersey.

We're in Jersey, ma'am.

You sure you didn't take

the wrong road and land in Brazil?

No, ma'am.

Come on.

Yes, ma'am.

Tira.

What do you want?

You're Clayton.

I know all about you and Tira.

But that's all finished.

I've been away, but I'm back again

and she ain't wanting no change.

We're going on just the same as before.

- Get it?

- No, I don't get it.

- Where's Miss Tira?

- She ain't here now.

She knew you was coming

and she didn't want to see you.

What're you talking about?

She didn't like to tell you herself,

so I'm doing it for her.

Ain't that enough?

Yes, I guess that's enough.

This is the right thing to do, Jack.

With a woman of her type,

this would have happened sooner or later.

If you ask me, I think you're lucky.

Maybe you are right.

Frank, get a messenger

and send that at once, will you?

I'm gonna be out of town

for three or four weeks.

In the meantime, I'm out to all callers.

Everybody, understand?

Is that message for Miss Tira, too?

Yes.

But I understood

you were to be married this month.

We're both mistaken.

Yes, sir.

What have you done to me

You're simply grand

You worked your spell on me

So make your demand

I want you, I need you

Your love must be mine

You sure gonna make a gorgeous bride.

I know I'm gonna make a nervous bride.

I ain't never done this before.

Marriage is a new kind of racket for me.

I've been married four times.

You ought to do well

in the wholesale business.

I don't wanna see anyone but Mr. Clayton.

Yes, ma'am.

That Mr. Clayton is sure a wonderful man.

I'll say he is.

I never knew I could go for anyone

like I have for him.

He made me feel like a different dame.

I ain't just a "Sister Honky Tonk" no more.

You're a lady now.

Thank you.

Some messenger gave me

this note to give you, Miss Tira.

Yeah?

You can go.

This is Miss Tira speaking.

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…
