Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaOne of over 700 Paramount Productions, filmed between 1929 and 1949, which were sold to MCA/Universal in 1958 for television distribution, and have been owned and controlled by Universal ever since. Mae West's pre-code reputation apparently influenced sponsors against it, even though it's strictly post-code, and airings were few and far between. One of its earliest documented telecasts took place in Pittsburgh Monday 18 April 1960 on KDKA (Channel 2). It was released on DVD 16 October 2012 as a single as part of the Universal Vault Series and again 8 March 2016 as one of nine titles in Universal's Mae West: The Essential Collection.

Featured review
mae west! it's going to be fun.
Written by the awesome miss west herself. It's new year's eve, 1899. Peaches has been kicked out of the city, but she's been spotted back around town. The usual antics and adventures... she tricks funny man charles butterworth into breaking and entering, a little larceny. And returns in grand fanfare as madamoiselle fifi. Hijinx ensue. It's mae west! Fun and silliness. The plot doesn't really matter...we're all going to have fun. Someone must have the rights to this locked up tight.. they never show it on turner classics. Too bad. Directed by ed sutherland. He really was married to marjorie daw, just like the children's poem. One interesting note... in the film, they have the parties at rector's dinner club; and george rector actually did run numerous restaurants, including one on broadway! High rating, just for being mae west!
