ChrisCSH H She done him wrong moves along at a very quick pace and for a best picture nominee it is one of the shortest. The picture has some very good editing and great direction with iconic singing and glamorous dresses from the marvelous Mae West, and the very suave and Debbonaire attitude of Cary Grant. She done him wrong might not be the best of the best picture nominees, but it certainly is a memorable one thanks to Mae West and Cary Grant. The film is very entertaining. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/22/25 Full Review Leaburn O The shortest ever runtime for a Best Picture nominee but arguably overstayed its welcome. The corny accents of Mae West and Carey Grant were bad but the general incoherence of the plot didn’t help. A plot of pre code racy innuendo but this still hasn’t aged too well.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 08/29/23 Full Review Audience Member This is one of those quick black and white movies that entertains as well as shows a little naughtiness. This film saved Paramount Studios when they were having financial woes. It's a reproduction of a Broadway play called Diamond Lil. Cary Grant also played in this movie alongside star Mae West. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie is known for Mae West having said the (often-misquoted) line, "Why don't you come up sometime and see me? I'm home every evening." It even won the award known as "Outstanding Production" for 1933, and it supposedly prompted the Hays Commission to crack down on movie standards. Based on the stage play "Diamond Lil", West plays the girlfriend of a criminal bar owner who has bought her expensive diamonds, but she has cheated on him with a variety of other men. One of them is none other than an undercover policeman who is after said bar owner. The movie had good potential for comedy or drama, but realizes neither. It is instead dull, and Mae West proved to be a weak performer and an even worse singer. Presumably she was more famous for being rebellious than for her talent. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review William L This film is entirely borne on the shoulders of Mae West. Her distinctive drawl, wry humor, and comedic timing are far and away the most memorable and enjoyable elements, but once the film switches from a lighthearted comedy based around West's Lady Lou to an undistinguished gangster drama-romance with a rather nonsensical ending, it loses steam fast. Grant is initially unrecognizable this early in his career with his schoolboy looks and gangly frame, and doesn't really carry the charisma that he would build his career off of. Still, this is the first film starring West that I've seen, and it makes me want to see more for her alone, hopefully other films featuring her incorporate a story that takes advantage of her unique strengths.
