No one loves me like that Dallas Man

Here’s a very material girl who likes to get hold of the ring she sees on the finger of a Dallas Man. And as a bad girl she’s prepared for every occasion. Whether it’s a Frisco Man, a Memphis Man or said Dallas Man.
This gold digger is also a singer/dancer, who’s been advertised as “Marvel Of The Age” and “The Incomparable” and who made the successful transition to a famous lion-tamer.
She’s hardly a girl who can say no to a man. Just like a good hunter she keeps her trophies. In her case it’s a large collection of small framed photos.
The idea to compare actors with animals has later been picked up by George Cukor at the beginning of The Women when you see which female actor plays which character.
The movie we’re looking for is full of witty one-liners by its main femals character who also wrote the story, screen play and all dialogues of this pre-code movie.
You definitely are not…..my dear Mr. Asta!
But then, who am I to complain. “I’m no Angel” either.
It seems Mae West has been giving lessons to many an eager-to-learn student. And let’s not forget that if it ain’t fattening or sinful, it ain’t any good!
I’m No Angel is correct…grrrrr…once again.
Mae West really was an influential teacher giving us advices like
“Always remember, honey. A good motto is: Take all you can get and give as little as possible.” or “Don’t forget, honey. Never let one man worry your mind. Find ‘em, fool ‘em and forget ‘em.” Or maybe she was just preaching the gospel of capitalism and egoism?
I doubt that it’ll make you happy in the end when you’re always the taker but never the giver. But then what does a dog know about life in this dog eat dog world anyway?
