Dangerous Babes

If for no other reason, you should pick up this 12-movie set for the sheer pleasure of watching the 1978 ‘classic,’ Sextette, starring Mae West, Timothy Dalton and a host of curious cameo appearances ranging from Tony Curtis as a Russian diplomat to Alice Cooper as a singing bell boy. It’s a musical, of sorts, about Mae trying to make her marriage to her 6th husband work despite the fact that husbands one through five keep interrupting her honeymoon: It’s gloriously bad. The other movies in the set range from the sleazy (French Quarter) to the silly (Yellow Hair & The Fortress of Gold), but all of them are campy enough to rate high on the guilt pleasure meter
