Mae west deserves a much bigger and better biopic in my opinion. I know at one point years ago there was talk of Bette Midler portraying her which I thought would have been amazing. I think a film with her playing Mae later in life would be great
Very well made feature although Ann Jillian reminds me more of Jean Harlow than of Mae West (I adore both of them 🙂 , each of them were unique ). Too bad that the film is not complete 😞
Is there a part 2 to this film , it seems to just stop? It is most enjoyable and being a fan on Mae West since a child and having numerous books about her life and her films on DVD I would like to say a thank you for sharing this TV move.
I'm just watching this today (26/7/24) and wanted to see the ending as well and it is on Prime Video for free at the moment . Don't know how long they will have it for though , that's if you are still wanting to see the ending 🙂
It's still on Prime and still free as of 10/6/24. I almost wish I hadn't looked for it and watched the end, though. It was all about her realizing that she really did love the James Brolin character. While I'm sure Mae had feelings, those final scenes made it look like he conquered her. NOBODY conquered Mae West.
Ms. Jillian does do her best. It's a hard task I think to do. Mae, west, first of all, maywest, was very short and wore those eye platform shoes, which Is a very important part of her life. Her character, you need a short chubby, a talented woman to Play this part, s
It's so sad in a way, when she's next to the mirror and the guys leaving.. she just slept around with so many men I heard,I don't know if she was really fulfilled though😢😢😢😢
She was curvy in the real sense of it and was also what is called "meaty-looking" which was obvious by the fact that while she was slim (not to be confused with slender) her collar bones could not be seen, she wasn't chunky and had no rolls, she had a flat tummy and slim legs, she was the literal definition of a short curvy woman.
I’m Gen X and liked the movie 🎥 and it had a great atmosphere. People can say what they think about it, moreover; especially this generation of people don’t even know who Mae West is!
I agree that Jillian was miscast but she did give a great performance. Those who stated Dolly Parton would have been a better choice, I partially agree. At least physically, Parton was closer to West than Jillian ever was. Jillian here looks more like Carole Lombard, not Mae West. I also did not realize how beautiful Piper Laurie was. I guess I've watched "Carrie" too many times and it's the only role I always associate with her, but she looks lovely here.
Sitting here watching this dodd, i'm wondering who could play may west, I I don't think she's been born yet.I can't think if anybody who can really Play may west and get away with it
Ann Jillian did a good job capturing Mae's spirit and sense of humor but she just didn't inhabit the role. Mae was what would be called a full figured lady so Ann was definitely smaller than the real Mae was. But Ann did get an Emmy nomination for her portrayal of Mae so she must have done something right. And some of the musical numbers, like the first one "You Have To See Momma Every Night", I don't believe Mae ever performed that song, nor would she have dressed like Ann did in that number. Mae would show some cleavage and her shoulders but never exposing herself that way. Mae dressed sexy and provocatively but without showing too much skin, she liked to entice but keep the men guessing and begging for more. If they'd do a new Mae West biopic, I could see Big Bang Theory actress Kaley Cuoco playing Mae
I've always wanted to see this now I'm in bed with a cold and caught the notification. Thank you for uploading this!
Cool fact the amazing Jean Pierre dorleac did all the costumes on this movie he also did the costumes on quantum leap with Scott bacula
I have never heard of jean pierre dorilac@@erinmefford8041
Loved the movie, I think Anne Jillian captured the essence of the fabulous Miss Mae West!

When I’m good I’m real good! When I’m bad I’m BETTER!

Anne is no Mae West. Mae West was thick, not rail thin. Bette Midler would have been a perfect Mae.
Forget it, No resemblance to Mae at all.
I just realized Mae West mother was the mother on the movie “Carrie” ohhh! 😳😳😳😁
@@sirpoppinchuck is that Piper Laurie.
Not the full movie...a chunk is cut off the end.
Thought it didn't make sense when it ended. Especially given the long history she had with W.C.Fields.
Is it just me or was there a bit of movie missing at the end?! Felt like there still was something more to come..... 😅
It's not just you. There are 18 more minutes to the film. I hope we get to see them!
@@michaelzipperlin6448 yeahh me too...
Thanks! I'll give it a miss in that case - nothing worse than the ending missing!@@michaelzipperlin6448
I feel robbed!!!
It's on Tubi if you want to see the last 18 minutes.

Okay bio pic. Good cast. Worth a look if you know nothing about Mae, but barely scratches the surface.
The ending was cut off.......
This movie doesn't do Mea West Justice! I had to stop watching after 4:32 minutes.
I enjoyed it
It's so sad in a way, when she's next to the mirror and the guys leaving.. she just slept around with so many men I heard,I don't know if she was really fulfilled though😢😢😢😢
Makes no sense how it ended...:(
I totally agree...
Loved her stayed in the first place she lived in when I move to the Great State of California...😊
Wow that's cool. Where was the first place that she stayed? I know she ended up living at the Ravenswood Apartment building for most of her adult life
Preferably Real Mae West
Ann is mis-cast in this film. Mae West was full-figured and bordered on chunky. She was impossible🎉 to recreate.
Hollywood just wasn’t casting full figured actresses in leading roles in 1982
The only person who could portray Mae is Mae. Mae is one of a kind.😊
She was curvy in the real sense of it and was also what is called "meaty-looking" which was obvious by the fact that while she was slim (not to be confused with slender) her collar bones could not be seen, she wasn't chunky and had no rolls, she had a flat tummy and slim legs, she was the literal definition of a short curvy woman.
Dolly Parton, at the time, would have been better.
Babra Streisand didn't look like Fanny Brice!
I’m Gen X and liked the movie 🎥 and it had a great atmosphere. People can say what they think about it, moreover; especially this generation of people don’t even know who Mae West is!
wheres the rest of the movie arghhhh
This is not the complete film.
Thanks for the comment, i think will skip then
Originally ran 1:35 minutes. Short sheeted.
22:50 what's the name of this song?
الممثلة هنا تشبه جين هارلو ولاتشبه ماي ويست..هذا خطى
Mae West (1982) | Almost Full Movie | Some talented actors
It looks like Mae West was a good bad girl. She was a very interesting person. She was also ahead of her time.
This movie sucked and it wasn't accurate at all. They were better off not doing it. Mae West deserved much better.
Ann was and really still is gorgeous..
So what happens than
Like Ann Jillian an actress since she was a child. Appeared as Baby June in the movie "Gypsy."
I agree that Jillian was miscast but she did give a great performance. Those who stated Dolly Parton would have been a better choice, I partially agree. At least physically, Parton was closer to West than Jillian ever was. Jillian here looks more like Carole Lombard, not Mae West.
I also did not realize how beautiful Piper Laurie was. I guess I've watched "Carrie" too many times and it's the only role I always associate with her, but she looks lovely here.

It's missing the last 15 minutes!
Anne was very good- Mae herself would be very grateful & pleased- I believe..❤
Ann Jillian reminds me of my fave Jean Harlow.❤

Thaks thanks thanks obrigada
r I p my college minister liked you !!! 😊😊😊
45:36 I thought in the USA it's supposed to be a "jury of one's peers", not one's inferiors.
I think her past childhood haunted her for the rest of her life.. don't you guys agree from what I saw in the movie😢
Roddy McDowall is the contour queen!
Am morning
Pm night
Thank you 🎉
Ann Jillian was a miscast. She did her best, but didn’t capture it.
I believe that you or jen know nothing if you think this is a good performance in my west, you've obviously never Seen her
Jesus. How boring is this !!
Trieà
Watched as a reagan era teen. Just Say No. Lol. ❤. Waitress!
Truth is Mae died young and her brother took her place .
Just prove that please.
Wasn’t Mae West in the Movie staying Raquel Welch “Myra Breckinridge” 1970? She was in her mid 70’s
