Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Classic Mae West
What a classy dame! Mae West can deliver one liners second to none, and she does so in this great movie about diamonds, seduction and men. It's a common thread with her, but it never gets old. Of all the movies she's done, it's easy to say that she sings the best in the Belle of the Nineties. If you're going to get one Mae West movie, you better add this one to your collection.
Rating:  - "Don't ever let a man put anything over on you outside of an umbrella."
Belle of the Nineties is a film about a stage star known all over for her gorgeous figure (Mae West). She finds her way into many lucrative relationships, but she is no dummy. Throughout her entanglements with several men including a boxer (Roger Pryor), a cheat, and a wealthy man (Johnny Mack Brown), she never loses sight of her identity.
Mae West wrote some great witty dialogue for this film, is adorned in some beautiful costumes to show off her ample figure, and sashays nonchalantly ... Read More
Rating: - An enjoyable romp for Miss West
This is my first exposure (aside from seeing snippets of "My Little Chickadee" on TV) to a Mae West film, and it certainly won't be my last! I became an instant Mae West fan after viewing this one. Although "Belle.." was not Mae's strongest vehicle (especially after being "watered down" by the Production Code, her constant nemesis), there's no ignoring her knack for dialogue & racy one-liners only the Great Mae could pull off. It certainly says something when a star from generations past can have ... Read More
Rating: - Entertaining West Vehicle. Never dull and full of body.
West plays a flamboyant singer Ruby Carter who after breaking up with her boxer boyfriend, takes a job singing at a fashionable club in New Orleans. She quickly becomes the object of desire for the area's male population and an object of envy and scorn by one of the females.
Mae West is splendidly dressed thoughout with over the top plumes, hat's, jewels and form fitting gowns. Despite her age and size, she's quite an eye-catcher and her charming, sex-crazed personality intrigues and delights. ... Read More
Rating: - MAE GIVE'S WOMEN STRENGHT
I don't think that there is another star like Mae West. She saved the largest Hollywood movie producer,Paramont. Eventhough she was censored, she still had the best one liners out of all the stars! She was Irish, and all the Irish I ever knew were firery (compliment).
And more about this picture, She is most fashionable in her own unique way as only she could.
