Item # 731438

THE KNICKERBOCKER PRESS, Oct. 27, 1933

  • "I'm No Angel" opening day premiere
  • Actress Mae West & Actor Gary Grant
  • The "Palace Theatre" advertisement

Page 6 has a 12 x 6 inch advertisement for the opening day premiere of "I'M NO ANGEL" starring Mae West and Cary Grant in Albany, New York. 
Complete with 22 pages, some wear along the spine, otherwise good.

Background: As a towering landmark of pre-Code cinema, I'm No Angel (1933) represents the peak of Mae West’s creative independence as both writer and star, delivering iconic quips like "When I'm good, I'm very good, but when I'm bad, I'm better" while cementing co-star Cary Grant as a major Hollywood leading man. West’s character—an unabashedly sex-positive circus entertainer who tames lions, outsmarts high-society suitors, and dominates her own courtroom trial—served as a bold defiance of traditional gender roles that shattered Great Depression box-office records, ultimately saving Paramount Pictures from financial ruin while provoking moral outrage that accelerated the strict enforcement of the Hollywood Production Code in mid-1934.
