DVD Review: "When caught between two evils, I generally like to take the one I never tried..."
Summary: 3 Stars
The censors were well and truly in force when Mae West set forth on her 1936 movie KLONDIKE ANNIE, which was again based on earlier material written by the star. It doesn't have the sharp edge of earlier films like "I'm No Angel", but West acquits herself well as a cabaret star on the run from the law.
The story opens in San Francisco, where Rose Carlton (Mae West) is Chinatown's famed 'Frisco Doll'. Suffocating under the controlling thumb of her lover Chan Lo (Harold Huber), Rose plans to escape to Alaska in order to stake her claim in Nome's booming gold rush. Half-way through the sea voyage, it becomes "necessary" for Rose to assume the identity of Sister Annie Alden (Helen Jerome Eddy) who passed away shortly after boarding. Once in Nome, Rose reinvents her life and turns Nome's struggling missionary around, yet everything is threatened when Chan Lo's henchmen track her down...
Co-starring Victor McLaglen as the salty old seadog captain in love with Rose, KLONDIKE ANNIE was a big hit for Mae West, though the watered down script undercuts her impact somewhat. West sings "My Medicine Man", "I'm an Occidental Woman in an Oriental Mood for Love", "Mister Deep Blue Sea", and "Little Bar Butterfly".
A fun movie for West fans.
