...don't get me wrong, I enormously enjoyed this wrong-headed fiasco, but am I the only person who thinks that the film's ending is only rivalled by "Pink Flamingoes" in the 'nauseating capper' stakes - I'm talking about Mae, writhing in bed next to Timothy Dalton and moaning "Oooow, the British are COMING!" ... Ewwww ... left me and my sister groaning in abject horror - come to think it was the perfect way to end this truly demented movie ...
sharewhy would the thought of a british man coming (especially the gorgeous timothy dalton) inspire abject horror in you?
I don't patronize bunny rabbits!!
And why was he going to a date flick with his sister?
shareI'm with boggybri. Who wants to see an 85 year old woman making innuendos regarding a thirty-ish man? Especially one who'd been around the block as many times as she had?

You are obviously NOT a Mae West fan. This film is so camp I love it

It's nothing to do with being a Mae West fan. Imagine it the other way around - do you want to see an 85 year old man slobbering over a 30 year old woman?
Well if you do you could always rent 'Entrapment' I suppose....
Well what in the crap does age have to do with it? Just because she was in her 80's means she was not human capable of emotions? You are so very age prejudiced so why did you watch this in the first place? I am young and I would drool over Mae West ANYTIME!!!
shareF'r'chrissake, it's a comedy. It's supposed to be grotesque. Mae was no fool.

It has everything to do with being a Mae West fan. That was her schtick. That's what she was famous for. Loved the movie. How about Alice Cooper at the end? Loved it.

This movie is a camp extravaganza, but to categorize it along with Pink Flamingos is just wrong. PF is gross out comedy, this is pure glam camp.

Oh God! Ordinarily I'd think that was a great line...ordinarily.

Ha ha, this movie sounds hilarious.

I always find it pretty amazing when this movie is called "bad taste". I mean when you think of all the nasty or outrageous things that have been in other movies, this is just an amazingly innocent little movie closer to an episode of "Love Boat" than a "midnight movie" or traditional cult film.
I don't know what the big deal is about Mae having a leading man much younger. It's no more sexual than when Bob Hope or George Burns would flirt with young women a half century younger than them on television. We never see them kiss, they never get physical. He's not in bed on top of her or making out! They were very genteel in handling the relationship. The movie is silly at worst but it's not the outrageous travesty it sometimes gets labeled.
I really love the movie. I think it's adorable and I don't find it disturbing at all. It's a parody movie, not supposed to be taken seriously.

Even Mae herself was appalled at the way "Sextette" ended up. Her original script was corrupted beyond all reason. Most unforgivable was the fact that half the comedy intended was the fact that this octagenarian broad has so many guys pawing her. Till the day she died, Mae regretted doing it. It was a sad, sad way to end an eighty year career.
shareMae had nothing to be ashamed about. Not everyone lives to be 85 and not everyone can carry a lead in a musical at 85 with the same vibrance they had in their 20s. Despite the camp, this film shows how amazing she was.
Plus, compared to the show "The Girls Next Door"(feauturing 80y/o Hugh Hefner and his three girlfriends, one 30, one 26, and one 21), her romancing a 30-something guy isn't so shocking.

Bad taste is too kind for this waste of celuloid. Mae tried for years to get this released through a studio and have it in theaters. Sorry it is too much like NORMA DESMOND saying I am ready for my close up Mr. De Mille. I told my nephews, ages 18 and 20 not to see it...as it coulod turn them off women for life!
shareMae West was a total GILF in this film.
I'm a totally bitchin' bio writer from Mars!
What's wrong with bad taste anyway ?
sharebut am I the only person who thinks that the film's ending is only rivalled by "Pink Flamingoes" in the 'nauseating capper' stakesWhat's a 'capper' (nauseating or otherwise) when it's at home..?
A capper is an ending.
You're my wife now.
Thanks - you learn something new every day... 😀
