TCM Star of the Month: Mae West

The May Star of the Month on Turner Classic Movies is Mae West!

Nine West films will be shown this month, spread across three Sunday evenings. 

There are fewer films than is typical for most Star of the Month honorees, but that's a reflection of the fact that West made relatively few films.  All of West's feature films through 1943 will be shown, with the exception of GOIN' TO TOWN (1935).

It's especially exciting that, as noted below, three of the films are TCM premieres.

Here's the West lineup; please click any hyperlinked title to read my past full-length review.

May 4th

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT (1932)

SHE DONE HIM WRONG (1933)

I'M NO ANGEL (1933)

May 11th

BELLE OF THE NINETIES (1934)

KLONDIKE ANNIE (1936) (TCM premiere)

GO WEST YOUNG MAN (1936) (TCM premiere)

May 18th

EVERY DAY'S A HOLIDAY (1938) (TCM premiere)

MY LITTLE CHICKADEE (1940)

THE HEAT'S ON (1943)

As a side note, the last full weekend of the month will feature TCM's annual Memorial Day Weekend war movie marathon.

In conjunction with this month's Mae West screenings, I'd like to again recommend James L. Neibaur's book THE MAE WEST FILMS, which I reviewed last year. It makes an excellent companion to watching Mae West's movies.
