After She Done Him Wrong will Universal release more Mae West titles?

After the April 22 release of Mae West's She Done Him Wrong - the second film she made for Paramount and the one credited with saving Paramount from bankruptcy (!) - will Universal release any other Mae West titles?

They really ought to produce a decent documentary of Miss West's life and career but knowing Universal we'lll get nothing other than a trailer as an extra!

All the other titles were released in the Mae West box from 3 years ago and My Little Chikadee is in the 1st WC Fields boxset....

I'd still like to know if "she" was actually a "he!"

Although on the commentary on the Myra B DVD Raquel Welch ( the bitch ! ) said she thought Mae looked like " a dockworker in drag" when they met at a pre - production meeting for Myra B - I'm sure that Mae was all woman!

I'd love to see the Backlot USA TV Special out on DVD with Mae interviewed by Dick Cavett or as an extra - but I'm wondering that as John Wayne was also featured that his family will be holding out for high royalty repeat fees?

Has anyone bought/watched She Done Him Wrong yet?

Hello Folks ,

Has anyone bought and watched this DVD She Done Him Wrong yet? Can't wait for my copy - are there any extras on there?

I so wish Universal had given Warner Bros the rights to
Mae West's output , as Warners are so good at remastering/putting great extras together for their titles!!

Backlot USA with the great Dick Cavett with Mae interviewed by Cavett and singing two songs would have made a really great extra I wonder who owns the rights these days? Hope eventually Shout DVD will get this one out on DVD!!

Deco King, would you mind using a larger font? I can barely read your post. The films extras are:
• Robert Osborne Introduction (2:17)
• Cartoon - She Done Him Right (7:55)

Here are a couple of reviews:

Ms. (Mr.?) West did an album called "Way Out West." Were the two songs from that? I think one title recorded was "Day Tripper." I bet that was a hoot!
