Almost every guy in the movie behaves like she's a ravishing sex goddess even though she looks like she could collapse into a pile of dust and bones at any second. Truly disturbing.
You don't know nothin'. She's one of the reasons movies were censored or had standards applied to them. She had the Catholics in an uproar at one time. One star because this is painful to see.
i had a much different image in my head....that Mae West was beautiful and sexy and age or nothing could not hold her back 'cause she was that kinda woman.....sadly i see even she could not defy the laws...we all age and we all become- well, whatever that was.....
Sextette was a chance for Mae West to do all the raunchy jokes they wouldn't let her do in the 30s. That's all, and that's enough. It's ridiculous that all the men desire her, just like it's ridiculous that no one realizes that Clark Kent is superman without his glasses. Everyone should just go with it, because it's funny.
Still, it's a shame they didn't make this just a few years earlier. In Myra Breckinridge (1970) she was in her 70s, and quite credibly alluring as I recall
