I'm No Angel (1933)

About:
I'm No Angel (1933) is Mae West's third motion picture. West received sole story and screenplay credit. A young Cary Grant plays the male lead. This was one of the few Mae West films that was not subjected to heavy censorship. Ms. West plays Tira, a circus performer who becomes a socialite.
It is a story about a gal who lost her reputation - and never missed it!

"I'm No Angel" was released immediately after She Done Him Wrong, when Mae West was the nation's biggest box office attraction and its most controversial star. In the early 1930s Mae West's films saved Paramount Pictures from bankruptcy. Depression era audiences responded to the fantasy rise of a woman from the wrong side of the tracks. Cary Grant stars opposite her for the second and final time. The film makes little use of his talents. West's ribald satire outraged moralists. Film historians cite her as one of the factors for the strict Hollywood production code that soon followed. The Hays Office forced a few changes including the title of the song "No One Does It Like a Dallas Man", changed to "No One Loves Me Like a Dallas Man".
