| Customer Reviews: Average Rating:  Rating : - "I certainly did-- twice." Goin' to Town is the story of an ambitious woman named Cleo Borden (Mae West) who grew up in a saloon. She loves the men and the men love her, but her aspirations lead her to enter into a contract to marry a wealthy man (Fred Kohler). Fortunately for her, he dies and leaves her all of his fortune. She soon learns that although she has money, she is not yet a lady, so she embarks on a journey to become one. She has no desire to change herself, but the man she sets her sights on (Paul Cavanagh) does, so she obliges.
West is her good ol' self here, complete with wiggling hips and growling voice. Either you love her or you hate her, and I find it quite difficult not to admire her. She had guts that many in the business did not have. She can put off a suggestive bit of dialogue with just enough inuendo to titilate those in on the joke, but with a subtlety that will pass over the heads of others. She is quick and expects you to keep up with her. + See Full Customer Review |  |
