Sextette

Sextette is a 1977 comedy film starring Mae West as Marlo Manners, a famous actress who is about to marry for the sixth time. With an all-star cast that includes Timothy Dalton, Dom DeLuise, George Hamilton, Tony Curtis, and Ringo Starr, Sextette is a fun, over-the-top romp that showcases West's legendary wit and charm.

The film opens with Marlo arriving in London to attend a party celebrating her upcoming nuptials to Sir Michael Barrington (Dalton), a diplomat and the youngest man she's ever married. Despite her advanced age - she's in her 80s - Marlo is still full of energy and vitality, and she quickly catches the eye of several younger men, including a bellhop played by Timothy Dalton and a French gigolo portrayed by George Hamilton.

Meanwhile, Marlo's entourage is dealing with their own dramas. Her personal assistant, Dan Turner (DeLuise), is desperate to get her to sign a new contract, while her ex-husband, played by Tony Curtis, is trying to win her back. Ringo Starr, playing a journalist, is covering the event and has his own motivations for getting involved with Marlo.

As the party progresses, chaos ensues as Marlo juggles her suitors and tries to keep up appearances, all while trying to convince everyone that she's still young and vibrant. The film's cast of characters is a mix of iconic stars and up-and-comers, including Alice Cooper, Keith Moon, and Walter Pidgeon.

Despite being released in the late 70s, Sextette feels like a throwback to a different era, with its old-fashioned humor and larger-than-life characters. But at its heart, the film is a celebration of Mae West herself, who was famous for her double entendres, sassy comebacks, and unabashed confidence. And while the film may not be the finest example of her work, it's still a joy to watch her in action, effortlessly stealing every scene she's in.

At its core, Sextette is a campy, fun romp that's perfect for fans of Mae West and classic Hollywood comedies. With its star-studded cast, outrageous plot, and endless stream of one-liners, it's a film that's impossible not to enjoy. Whether you're in the mood for a nostalgia trip or just looking for a good laugh, Sextette is sure to entertain.
