Upon its release, "Sextette" was not a critical or commercial success, but has a diverse cast. The cast included some of West's first co-stars such as George Raft ("Night After Night", 1932), silver screen stars such as Walter Pidgeon and Tony Curtis, and more contemporary pop stars such as The Beatles' Ringo Starr and Alice Cooper, and television favorites such as Dom DeLuise and gossip queen Rona Barrett. It also included cameos of some of her musclemen from her 1950s Las Vegas show, such as the still remarkably fit Reg Lewis. "Sextette" also reunited Mae West with Edith Head, her costume designer from 1933 in "She Done Him Wrong".
