Nowhere near Mae's best but not as bad

Nowhere near Mae's best but not as bad as its reputation has it. Mae looks great though, perhaps the best she ever did on screen, the 40's styles were very complimentary to her.

You have to take each segment/aspect on its own - the musical numbers, the storyline of the harried producer digging for money, and Mae West. Together, it's disjointed, but just sit back and enjoy it for what it's worth.

Despite her above-the-title billing, Mae West isn't the focus of The Heat's On

Well, after 40 years of reading about this movie, my curiosity has finally been settled! Her last movie before this one-My Little Chickadee-having been released three years previous, Mae West makes one more picture before taking a 27-year sabbatical from Hollywood. However, because she didn't write her material like before, she doesn't have much witty lines and in fact, has small screen time despite her above-the-title billing which she shared with William Gaxton and Victor Moore, both of whom have more scenes. It's with Moore that Ms. West has her one good scene with as she manages to get him drunk while he reveals the crux of the plot. Otherwise, this film is just an excuse to provide musical numbers of either Mae, Xavier Cugat and his Orchestra, or the excellent singing and piano skills of Hazel Scott and excellent Ms. Scott really is! If anyone makes this picture worth seeing, she does! P.S. Lloyd Bridges has a small role as a soldier who visits his girlfriend played by Mary Roche who's only appearance on film this was.
