I'm No Angel / Mae West as Tira

Coeli's comment: "Wowza!"

The pre-code era strikes again, with Travis Banton as the designer. The slinky, low-cut gown with spiderweb wrap in the bottom photo looks positively demure next to the costume she's almost wearing in the other photos. In Tira's defense, she is a circus sideshow performer. However, it's not too hard to see why this movie was cited as one of the factors leading to the implementation of the Hays Code.

Classic lines:

"Oh, Beulah, peel me a grape!"

"Well, it's not the men in your life that counts, it's the life in your men."

"When I'm good I'm very good. But when I'm bad I'm better."

Madam Satan / Kay Johnson as Angela Brooks

Ah, the pre-code era. This is the toned-down version of the "Madam Satan" outfit that Angela wears to a costume party aboard a zeppelin in order to vamp her errant husband. (I'm not making this up--you can read the plot synopsis for yourself.) One can only imagine what the original version must have looked like!
