Thursday Afternoon Film Series - I'm No Angel February 8, 2007

This February is “Bad Girl” month as the Williamsburg Regional Library Thursday Afternoon Film Series screens some delightfully naughty films from Hollywood’s censorship free “pre-code” era. This period, known for its risqué flicks, ran from the late 1920s to 1934 when the Motion Picture Production Code began to be rigidly enforced. The movies will be screened in the Williamsburg Library Theatre, 515 Scotland Street at 2 p.m. every Thursday throughout the month. They are free of charge and tickets or reservations are not required. Call the Adult Services Department at (757) 259-4050 for more information.

Feb. 8 – I’m No Angel (1933)
The one and only Mae West is at her best in this sassy comedy for which she wrote her own dialogue. The men don’t stand a chance when Mae, playing a sideshow carnival floozie named Tira, skillfully utilizes her many talents, such as lion taming, sashaying, flirting and dropping one-liners, to find herself a wealthy loverman. The film costars an outmatched Cary Grant.
