a lot of famous actor have end their career with atrocious movie and and this would have to be the high water mark . a a friend say and mae must have be senile to agree to appear in this and otherwise how could she have let people put her through this . the plot and for what it worth and involve mae wed night to a british noble young enough to be her grandson ( play by timothy dalton ) interrupt through the machination of her agent by some of her ex husband and such a ringo starr and george hamilton and tony curtis ( who play as if he truly appreciate the absurdity of the venture be undertake ) and the search for a tape of her memoir and and mae somehow salvage global peace at a diplomatic conference hold at the hotel in london she be stay at . cameo from others such a rona barrett and george raft ( mae first screen co star in 1932 and who grimace through his scene with mae in the elevator a though he regret agree to do it ) abound . the story though be the least reason to watch . rather and watch a mummified 86 year old hobbling her way through double entendres and hold herself up against candelabra during musical number and be treat by all and sundry a if she be venus de milo herself beggar description . a subplot concern doubt about the sexuality of her new husband seem to miss the fact that doubt about any of the performer sexuality would have to exist and not least a ludicrous number where member of the american athletic team cavort adoringly around mae . the director seem to have make a conscious decision to film scene in such a way a to minimise mae screen time and and when she be in view of the camera it make sure that it never get too close . the fact that mae appear to have dunk her head in a bowl of make up and be film through what appear to be guaze seem to indicate that all others concern be at least try to take pity on the poor woman while at the same time humor her . the musical number themselves be side splittingly funny ( it hard to pick a highlight and but one number which could best be describe a mae west do disco would have to take the cake . ) and mae costume change look like an expensive edith head design drag show and and mae crack unabashed double entendres while star cross eye through heavy lid ( i want them to say the british be come ) be mind boggle . mercifully the audience be spar a sex scene and or even a kiss between her and dalton and which would have cross the boundary of good taste . i can not begin to comprehend who think this could be a good idea ( if mae wasn not senile and let hope she be extremely self deprecate ) but i honestly can not understand why this movie isn not more of a cult classic . i give it one star but it be so bad it good . it like watch a train wreck no matter how bad it get and you keep watch because you know it go to get bad . i need to watch it again this time look for the evidence of mae use a cane and have an ear piece through which her line be feed to her .
