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".
