Rating:  - One of West's Best
Marvis Arden (Mae West) is a sensational movie star. Her following spans the world and her personal appearance tours prove her popularity. On her way home from one such appearance, Arden's car breaks down. She orders her publicity man (Warren William) to find her a place to stay, suspicious that he planned the break down to keep her away from a man. However, she soon finds herself mooning over an attractive repairman in town (Randolph Scott) and listening to his ideas about inventing equipment for ... Read More
Rating: - Mae West as a Movie Star Foiled in Romance & Forced to Live Among the Commoners.
Mae West wrote "Go West, Young Man" based on the play "Personal Appearances" by Lawrence Riley. The change in title is a mystery to me, since "Personal Appearances" is short and sweet with a nice double meaning, and "Go West, Young Man" is only remotely related to the film's plot. Mae West plays haughty movie star Mavis Arden, "reigning queen of the cinema". Mavis' contract states that she cannot marry for 5 years, so her press agent Mr. Morgan (Warren William) is constantly maneuvering to keep his ... Read More
Rating:  - Goodness Has a Lot to Do With It
This enjoyable comedy has always been one of my favorite Mae West pictures although it does not enjoy the fame or reputation of I'M NO ANGEL or SHE DONE HIM WRONG or even MY LITTLE CHICKADEE.

Sounds like a terrific springboard for a Mae West picture but the movie was made after the censor boards ... Read More
Rating:  - WINNER, Most Enigmatic Title
That's because this movie has absolutely nothing to do with the west--it's set in PA. Except that there's some talk that big movie actress Mae West will take local rube grease monkey Randolph Scott back to Hollywood with her. Or--duh--maybe it's a play on her last name? Down to basics: Mae is this big movie star whose contract stipulates that she cannot marry for the next five yearrs. Her public relations man Warren William is there to make the contract stick, and so promptly dispatches any guy he thinks ... Read More
Rating:  - Tamed
After the failure of "Klondike Annie," Mae West tried something different: an adaptation of someone else's material. "Personal Appearance" was a stage play about a big star stuck in a small town, and in the early scenes of the film, she is fairly funny as she plays the star as vain, ignorant, and self-obsessed. This brief bit of satire is promising, but the film soon becomes the usual West vehicle, with various slickers and studs after the irresistable heroine. This is the rare West film with a strong ...
