- Is that so?

I never thought of that at all.

Why didn't you

tell me that before?

I don't know.

Spider?

Yeah, what's the matter?

Look at that.

I got it. Get out of the way.

Get out of the way.

Give her some air, will you?

What's the trouble?

This girl tried to croak herself,

but they stopped her before she could.

All right, Spider, bring her up.

Bill, fix up something for her.

Right away, Lou.

Think of trying to bump herself off in here,

of all places.

She come to the right place, all right.

What do I do with the kid, Lou?

Put her right over here, Spider.

Where's Gus?

He's down in his office. He left word

not to be disturbed for anything.

Thanks. You go downstairs

and shut that crowd up, will you?

You can go, Spider. I'll look after her.

Poor kid looks like she is all in.

She must have been up against it

to want to croak herself.

Come on, take this. Here.

Come on. This will fix you up.

- What's the matter? Committed murder?

- No, not that. I never will.

Then you have nothing to worry about.

At least the guy is alive.

How did you know there was a man?

There always is.

It takes two to get one in trouble.

You know everything about me.

I wouldn't say that, but I am observant.

Come on, move over here.

Sit down there.

What was he? Married?

Yes, but I didn't know.

Makes no difference to me

whether you did or not.

Men's all alike, married or single.

It's their game.

I happen to be smart enough

to play it their way.

You'll come to it.

Where've you been?

Just when I need you most of all,

you ain't around.

I ain't been no place, Miss Lou.

You ain't been no place,

you've just been lost.

Get my little friend here fixed up

with some new clothes.

Get these rags off her.

What's your name, dear?

Sally.

Sally, what?

Sally Glynn.

Always remember to smile.

You'll never have anything to worry about.

Forget about this guy.

See that you get a good one the next time.

Who'd want me after what I've done?

Listen, when women go wrong,

men go right after them.

You want to put more petticoats on her?

No, she's got enough on.

Wouldn't need any of them if they didn't stuff

this furniture with horsehair.

If you was to go out

and something were to happen...

I wouldn't want no policeman to catch me

without no petticoat.

No policeman? How about a nice fireman?

That's the spirit, sister.

Lou, I'm just bringing the folks in.

All right.

Such a gorgeous place, Gus.

I didn't think such a room existed

in this house.

Everything here imported special from Paris.

Hello, Rita.

Hello, Lou.

I didn't expect to see you so soon.

You're here, too? How nice.

Lou?

What's become of the girl

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…
