Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Sextette, a 1978 musical comedy film directed by Ken Hughes (Chitty Chitty Bang Bang), is best known for being Mae West's final film role, an adaptation of her 1961 musical of the same name (later renamed Sextet).note Not to be confused with her scandalous 1926 musical Sex.Marlo Manners (West), a globally recognized actress/sex symbol, has just wed her sixth husband, Sir Michael Barrington (Timothy Dalton), and she would like nothing better than to enjoy her honeymoon with him in a posh London hotel. Unfortunately, she's being pulled in many different directions — by her agent (Dom De Luise), the director of her latest film/one of her ex-husbands (Ringo Starr), a gangster/another one of her ex-husbands whom she thought was dead (George Hamilton), and a Russian ambassador/ex-lover (Tony Curtis) at the hotel for an international peace conference. In truth, she has lived a double life as a secret agent for years, using her beauty and charm on men of power...and as an audiotape she's been dictating her Compromising Memoirs to goes astray and the peace conference goes awry, she might just be the only person who can keep the world on an even keel.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The film was critically and commercially derided but has managed to become something of a Cult Classic. | |

Hollywood Old | |
| Sextette / int_3322e9cd | comment |
Hollywood Old: Bizarrely inverted, as the film insists on acting like the 84-year-old West is still in her prime. (In fact, West herself was confused as to why she looked so old in the dailies — having them reshot with what seems like a quarter gallon of vaseline on the lens.) | |

| Sextette / int_3f86799c | comment |
Gaussian Girl: In an effort to hide the fact that its female lead was in her eighties, the film makes heavy use of the Gaussian blur. | |

Celebrity Paradox | |
| Sextette / int_7b8b3def | comment |
Celebrity Paradox: Dom De Luise's character's song-and-dance number is a soft-shoe rendition of The Beatles' "Honey Pie". No one mentions that Beatle Ringo Starr is in this film. | |
