I was originally going to write about Mae West’s overall career and how it was ultimately destroyed by the Production Code. However, due to timing issues, I have now chosen to narrow my topic to the aspects that made West’s films so controversial. The main movies I will be focusing on are Night After Night (1932), I’m No Angel (1933), and My Little Chickadee (1940). After analzying the films, I will provide arguments both in favor and against the themes in Mae’s films. My group agreed that this was a nice topic.
