Wow so beautiful old movies 🎥

Can anyone imagine Mae West allowing herself to be dubbed. If she couldn’t sing this opera herself she wouldn’t be doing it- or I’m no judge of character.

Brilliant when wit was seductive

You are really talented, and really handsome! Davvero talentuoso, e davvero un bell'uomo! Hugs, from an Italian that left his heart in SF.

and I Love Also Caselotti For The Voice of Snow White in The 1937 Disney Animated First Feature.

Sorry This is Not Jeanette Macdonald Singing Opera in This Movie. I Love Jeanette Than Mae West

❤

Well, it was a bit of a hot mess. And no one can do “hot mess” with more sex appeal than the incomparable Mae West.

She so beautiful and sexy number one lady in Hollywood,

"she is Cleopatra... to a plumber" - W C Fields. (But I think that brilliantly manufactured character is merely testimony to her genius - like Gervais creating David Brent)

She was an extraordinary and intelligent woman, far ahead of her time, in 1949 The New York Times said: "Mae West is an American institution. Like Donald Duck, Chinatown and General Grant's Tomb, you have to see her at least once. once in his life."

WOW MAE WEST COULD KILL SAMSON AND JOHN THE BAPTIST IN THE SAME MOVIE. THANK YOU FOR THE VIDEO

The most hilarious line is when she says to Samson: "Come here, Sammy!"...

Can't tell if this " singing" is decent or just plain awfull!! LOL. MAE IS WONDERFUL.

Gimme the "A"

Mae West's outfits influenced everything from life jackets to Emerson radios, which are highly sought these days by collector's.

I love her, she was hilarious

She likes his dreads

While female stars 10-15 years then her younger struggled to maintain their youth - she owned her appeal at any age. I don't think any other actress of her time approached her ease and confidence level. Amazing woman.

What a dress!

I love my Brooklyn Bombshell!!! She was street smart beautiful witty and tough - she road Hollywood - not the other way around!

Mae West did have the torpedo bras first not Madonna and not invented by Jean Paul Gaultier LOL

I like how she looks at his hair locks and how the woman tries to keep a straight face watching them.

The dress looks amazing on her.

Yes and yes tomorrow and yesterday

Un phénomène cette Mae West.

Only Mae West could have gotten away with this. It's hideous and beautiful at the same time. Lol

Mae West she would try anything once lol well she rfeally was not an opera singer buyt she put this one over anyway

Not just a hot babe & a wicked sense of humor, but a fairly good singing voice. A real shame I couldn't come up & see her some time.

She was really something

Hell I didn't know she could sing opera! Wow! She paved the way for women to be themselves. She was very smart.

Mae is a Combination of Bette Midler...Marilyn Monroe and Mae West lol

I just love these movies she’s sexy she’s hot she is loved.

Mae West was absolutely gorgeous; beautiful eyes, teeth, etc. I've heard commentators say she was homely and unattractive!?! WTF?! Are they blind???? She may have been as hedonistic as they come, but she was a wonderful person. A true diamond in the rough.

I always thought that Mae West could have also made it big just as a singer.

...no words..

A true star

Now I want to know how the gambling debt guy turned out.

i love the strutting on the stage. can u imagine delilah doing a mae west lmaooooo

i knew a guy in stockholm who worked in the harbour but sometimes appeared in drag.He walked just like mae west and was bitchy too

wonder why some one hasn't capitalized on her "older woman" sleeves? Every one with hanging/bat arms need's some!

Mae West was always the first person to laugh at herself in the characters she created and that's what makes her writing so brilliant , she was in on the joke and it was always hysterical , she gave the parts she played courage and dignity in fighting against odds not in their favor and succeeding as she did in life ! and this particular aria is one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written and she does it magically so that I'm sure Saint-Saens in heaven must have been trilled by it ! and if you don't believe me , KZbin it - she's incredible in it and sings it with grace and charm and humor and gives it an element the professional singers could never hope for without the venue ! in other words she was talented to a point which is almost unbelievable - but the films are the proof - she was a genius !!!!!!!!! and always a star !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sublime. And that COSTUME! Amazing. And that melody is so gorgeous even Mae can't manage to ruin it.

never another like her....darn...!!!!

I've heard this aria sung by the best mezzo-soprano's. But OMG Mae's rendition has to be my favorite of all time, hands down.

She may sound like a sick cat, but she's Mae West!

I cracked up when her dress went over the guy's head and she said "Oh, pardon me, Joe".

That was horrible and I absolutely LOVED it!

"I forgot, we're putting on an opera tonight" Only Mae could deliver a line like that

"You're on!" Oh yeah? How my doin'?"
