there must have be something in the water at the studio where this one be make . how else to explain one of the most bizarre concept in cinema history . consider the following represent an eighty something mae west be cast a a twenty something sexpot who be hotly pursue by six ( hence the title ) young ( or youngish ) men . in the course of this and she interrupt a un meeting and thwart a gangster and make goo eye at a body building team ( who all seem more interested in each other than in her and who could blame them . ) but there more . mae sings . well and sort of . periodically the action and such a it be and grind to a dead halt while mae croons some totally unrelated ballad . her romantic interested be play by timothy dalton and who mumble a tone deaf rendition of neil sedaka at west and and who deserve an oscar for keep a straight face when he sing the lyric young and beautiful and your look will never be go . all the while west be posture like mad and look like something they find in the wreck of the titanic . for all of it ineptitude and it gratuitous cruelty and it blatant disregard for good taste and it be hard not to like sextette . it be amongst the most requested film in my video collection and and the poster hang in my lounge room . i really have tremendous affection for it . it have a certain innocence to it while everybody seem to be enjoy themselves so much . and to be fair and west be remarkably well preserve for eighty five ( though it be a long and long stretch to pretend that she the platinum blonde goddess she mean to be . ) one should be revolt yet one isn not while it all good fun and if not quite in the way it be intend . and if nothing else it take gut for west to make this movie . nobody could deny that .
