If you will see this film, knowing nothing
about leading lady May West, it will be difficult for you to understand,
what for this completely "empty" movie with primitive humor, old songs, but
to do its justice, with good cast for the parts of faded beauty husbands -
Tony Curtis, Ringo Starr, Dom De Luse and� Timothy Dalton as the sixth (still
the last) husband, was created.
May West is a legend of american show-biz. A
singer and an actress, a piece's author, where she herself was an actor on
Broadway, May West has become in 30-50's the American sex bomb. May be it was
her always ajar sensual mouth on the brooch, which Salvador Dali performed
in the 1950's? Indeed, he spent some years in America and could see if not
May herself that her movies!
When you are watching this and last film with
the participation of old diva, you can think of it: "Probably, she shouldn't
appear here being made-up to look like the deceased and moving with a heavy
for musical comedy gait". But let's listen to this audio-clip (this is Tim,
who sings with May in duet!) with needed attention and feel, how great was
the mastership of the actress during her best years, if even at her more,
than 80, she can show with her voice very different nuances of will, coquetry,
feint and lambency.
Well, but Timothy Dalton, having done a good
job in the part of "Michael the sixth", was never to perform neither in the
same movies, nor in the musicals at all�
By the way, "Sextette" was issued on video
in Russia. This event took place at the end of 1999...
