l'm not certain if most criticizing this film so callously are simply a bit daft when it comes to the gist of British humor, but they seem to be missing the vital dynamic of the movie entirely. Think of any Austin Powers movie. Are they intended to be serious Hollywood musicals with deep meaning that exhibit an abundance of musical genius? Not at all...because Mike Myers KN0WS his British humor. Wayward plots involving any combination of 'spies', sexual innuendo and campy musical numbers where characters are prone to break into song at nearly any random point throughout the film are classic trademarks of what we commonly refer to nowadays as 'spoof'. Ms. West was obviously very innovative and ahead of her time. l think it was absolutely brilliant of her to allow it filmed in such a manner. Very tongue-in-cheek! Bravo, to an extremely intelligent and elegant lady, rest her dear soul.

And also for those critiquing Tim's singing voice and phrasing during "Love Will Keep Us Together", he played it brilliantly as well; delivering the lyrics very in-tune with the highly upper-class 'stiffness' of Sir Michael Barrington--a British Secret Service agent who wouldn't know how to properly sing a Captain and Tennille pop-tune to save his sweet life. l absolutely applaud his unique sense of humor in tailoring the song to aptly suit the character. l have never known a better actor, nor will l ever. l found this movie utterly delightful years ago....and find it the same today, especially after having not seen it for some time. For those harsh critics, l suggest re-watching. However, this time with the lighter expectation of one not in search of great musical depth, but an appreciation for that which is better known as satire.



Buyer Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A Movie So Bad, lt's Actually Good!
l've seen Sextette a couple of times. The first time l saw it, my jaw dropped at the absurdity of pairing Mae West with love interest Timothy Dalton. Then there were the assorted cameos of everyone from George Raft to Alice Cooper. Mae West was probably the only star out there who had the moxie to assemble such a diverse group of characters into the same picture. The second time l watched it, l took the movie for what it was -- a fun, campy pic that doesn't take itself seriously in the least. Kudos to Ms. Mae!



Buyer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Mae West at her Best!
Great Musical so bad its perfect great companion piece to The First Nudie Musical. Love the songs sung by the West! Every Gay Man's Dream of the Musical so Bad its good!



Buyer Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - *
l first bought this movie on VHS many years ago. l have every Mae West film, including the hard to find "The Heats 0n", which l don't think has ever been out on DVD. So believe me when l tell you, l am a huge fan of Mae West. l have her albums, a doll of her, books on her and a few other rare collectibles.

Sextette is by no means "oscar material", but it makes no sense to me at all why so many people insist on bashing Sextette so badly. l must agree with the previous reviewer who said this movie only has a bad storyline if you compare it to Citizen Kane. ln other words, taken for what it is, a fun, campy movie, Sextette is great.

First off, l read in one of my Mae West books that making Sextette was N0T Mae's idea. She was approached by those who wanted it made and she agreed. They said she had good days when she was "on" and other days where they couldn't get her to remember anything. 0ther days she thought she was back in the 193O's. However, overall, her performance is wonderful and everyone in the cast was so good, they helped sell her. l don't know how much of that is true about her condition, but assuming it is, she did a great job. The Mae West we all know comes through in many scenes.

To truly enjoy Sextette, first off you must suspend reality. Mae does not look like she's in her 8O's here. She looks like she's around her late 5O's or early 6O's. l know a lot of women now in their 5O's who don't look half as good as Mae did in this movie. ln any case, we are encouraged to believe she is still the Mae West we knew in 1933. 0nce you forget the details about her age, and once you realize this is a campy 7O's movie, you can appreciate that there really is a plot and there is a lot of funny stuff in this film which is well delivered. The performances of Ringo Starr, Dom Deluise, George Hamilton and others are excellent.

Why did all these stars want to do this movie? Probably for the same reason true Mae West fans wanted to see it. A tribute to a legend. A woman who never let the system beat her down. A woman who took on Hollywood back when it was truely a man's world. A woman who saved Paramount studios from going bankrupt during the Great Depression. A woman who wrote her own screenplays and Broadway plays when those areas were also male dominated. Mae West was not just a great performer and entertainer, she was a great business woman and a great writer. She was truely ahead of her time.

As for the criticisms about her age, l also agree with the previous reviewer who pointed out that Mae was almost 4O when she first came to Hollywood. When she did "l'm No Angel" in 1933 she was 4O and l think she looked great for 4O, especially in a day long before anti-oxidants and botox. And as for her shape in Sextette, she sure doesn't look like a young woman, but her body isn't bad at all for her age. She's still got an hourglass shape. They shouldn't have given her a big, fluffy wedding gown in the opening scene, though. She'd have been better off with a tapered gown, but most of her gowns were gorgeous in this film and her dress maker in the movie is hilarious. Compare her shape here to her shape in the 194O film "My Little Chickadee" with WC Feilds and she doesn't look all that different except for maybe a little more hunch to the shoulders.

All in all this movie is a movie for Mae's fans. lt gives us one last chance to see her do her thing and give us those fun one-liners that made her so famous. lf l had to make any real criticism of this film, it would be that some of the musical numbers were not so fabulous. "Love Will Keep Us Together" was my least favorite, but even the cheesey musical numbers are fun enough to sit through. The creators of this movie did N0T intend this to be a serious musical like "The Sound of Music" or anything of that caliber.

The bottom line is to suspend reality and enjoy it for what they intended it to be. A campy, fun tribute to a fabuous Hollywood legend. Nothing more or less than that.



Buyer Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - a lot of "tette" and no "sex"
0NLY for Mae West 'FANS' -- mostly unfunnnnny - even supporting players - buy if you just want "all" the great lady's movies. l love her even at her worsttes.

When The Grapes of Wrath was published in 1939, America, still recovering from the Great Depression, came face to face with itself in a startling, lyrical way. John Steinbeck gathered the country's recent shames and devastations--the Hoovervilles, the desperate, dirty children, the dissolution of kin, the oppressive labor conditions--in the Joad family. Then he set them down on a westward-running road, local dialect and all, for the world to acknowledge. For this marvel of observation and perception, he won the Pulitzer in 1940.

The prize must have come, at least in part, because alongside the poverty and dispossession, Steinbeck chronicled the Joads' refusal, even inability, to let go of their faltering but unmistakable hold on human dignity. Witnessing their degeneration from Oklahoma farmers to a diminished band of migrant workers is nothing short of crushing. The Joads lose family members to death and cowardice as they go, and are challenged by everything from weather to the authorities to the California locals themselves. As Tom Joad puts it: "They're a-workin' away at our spirits. They're a tryin' to make us cringe an' crawl like a whipped bitch. They tryin' to break us. Why, Jesus Christ, Ma, they comes a time when the on'y way a fella can keep his decency is by takin' a sock at a cop. They're workin' on our decency."

The point, though, is that decency remains intact, if somewhat battle-scarred, and this, as much as the depression and the plight of the "Okies," is a part of American history. When the California of their dreams proves to be less than edenic, Ma tells Tom: "You got to have patience. Why, Tom--us people will go on livin' when all them people is gone. Why, Tom, we're the people that live. They ain't gonna wipe us out. Why, we're the people--we go on." It's almost as if she's talking about the very novel she inhabits, for Steinbeck's characters, more than most literary creations, do go on. They continue, now as much as ever, to illuminate and humanize an era for generations of readers who, thankfully, have no experiential point of reference for understanding the depression. The book's final, haunting image of Rose of Sharon--Rosasharn, as they call her--the eldest Joad daughter, forcing the milk intended for her stillborn baby onto a starving stranger, is a lesson on the grandest scale. "'You got to,'" she says, simply. And so do we all. --Melanie Rehak

Norton Confidential safeguards against online identity theft, protecting your confidential information from fraudulent phishing Web sites and crimeware before login, purchase, or any online interaction. Norton Confidential protects you when you’re most vulnerable: at a Web site while banking or shopping online, and about to submit passwords, account numbers, or other confidential information.

Norton Confidential automatically inspects Web sites—and potentially dangerous or identity-stealing programs on your PC—for known threats and suspicious behavior before you log in, make a purchase, or otherwise interact with them. If a threat is detected, Norton Confidential protects your passwords and other confidential information from an attack—such as getting phished by fraudulent Web sites, or having your keystrokes secretly recorded by identity thieves.


When you visit a Web site on the Internet, domain servers translate the domain name into an IP addresses. View larger.

In a pharming scam, a criminal programer hacks into a domain server and sends you to a fake Web site, which could trick you into submitting a username and password. To prevent pharming, Norton Confidential gives you a visual confirmation that a Web page has been verified as belonging to the company represented. View larger.

Anti-Phishing Fraudulent Web Site Protection
Norton Confidential includes an Internet Explorer Toolbar Plug-in that helps you to see Web page risk status at any time. The software filters and blocks phishing Web sites to help ensure you do not inadvertently give personal information to a fraudulent site. Norton Confidential provides a visual categorization for authentic sites, good sites, suspicious sites, and bad sites, making it easy for you to know status as you shop and browse online.

Anti-Pharming Protection
In addition to blocking fraudulent or suspicious sites, Norton Confidential authenticates top banking and shopping transaction sites to provide a global multi-layer shielding protection. You'll get a visual confirmation that a Web page has been verified by Symantec as belonging to the company represented—or in simple terms, the site is really who it says it is.

Signature and Behavioral Crimeware Blocking
Norton Confidential protects users from hidden crimeware designed to steal confidential or personally identifying information. While detecting and removing known threats, there is minimal disruption for the user—Norton Confidential works in the background. Norton Confidential is designed to coexist with Norton AntiVirus and Norton Internet Security in addition to competitive antivirus and Internet security solutions. Even if you already use one layer of computer protection, Norton Confidential adds another layer of protection, specifically for online threats with financial damage potential.

InfoVault Login and Password Protection
Norton Confidential automatically detects, stores and protects your logins and passwords. You can then use one "master" password instead of countless individual Web site logins; individual passwords and protected by the master password. Norton Confidential prevents users from inadvertently sending password and login information to unauthorized sites, and provides convenient way to migrate stored passwords from Norton Password Manager.

A Real-time Integrated Solution
Norton Confidential is one of the only fully integrated solution that protects against both phishing and crimeware at the point of transaction. Most solutions provide protection against one vector requiring users to "piece together" their safety status and/or are not "transaction sensitive".

Intelligent Prevention
Norton Confidential uses advanced heuristics to provide zero-hour protection from online identity theft without requiring known phishing URLs or crimeware definitions. Other solutions rely heavily on signatures, which are insufficient for protection from quickly evolving threats.

Effortless Protection
Norton Confidential is the only solution that allows you to complete their transactions uninterrupted by offering behavior blocking technology that prevents suspicious applications from capturing sensitive information.

For Your Eyes Only
Password protection prevents you from accidentally submitting your passwords to unauthorized sites—providing a failsafe against emerging phishing attacks.

Symantec Response Expertise
Norton Confidential is the only consumer security solution that authenticates secure Web sites and does so without requiring the Web sites to make any changes to their sites. Symantec Response team on-going Web site profiling delivers in-depth protection for popular banking, shopping and eCommerce sites.
