Marlo Manners (Mae West), a legendary Hollywood actress, is in London on her honeymoon, having married Sir Michael Barrington (Timothy Dalton), husband number 6. The farce develops as Marlo has to keep ducking out to meet with various ex husbands, and whilest she's at it, solve world peace! All the while also trying to track down a tape of her memoirs that could cause a scandal if heard.A truly bizarre film, with an 84 year old Mae West still trying to play the sex symbol, which is at once creepy and also compulsive viewing, like a car crash! Whilst mayhem and chaos revolves around her, she seems to be acting in treacle! Every line and move is at half speed. Various actors and musicians pop up in cameo's such as Ringo Starr, George Hamilton, Keith Moon, Tony Curtis, George Raft and Alice Cooper. Watch it as the full on camp delight that it is. Full of unintential laughs. Otherwise you'd sadly be watching a truly awful film on every level, and you wouldn't want to do that would you?
