History YMMV / Sextette

* HilariousInHindsight: At one point, Dan says Sir Michael is a spy who is "bigger than Franchise/JamesBond." Dalton would go on [[Film/TheLivingDaylights nine years later to play]] [[Film/LicenceToKill the famous secret agent]].

* WTHCastingAgency: It's generally agreed that Creator/WalterPidgeon, who plays Mr. Chambers, would have been a much better choice to play Marlo's love interest than Creator/TimothyDalton due to the former being far closer to Creator/MaeWest's age than the latter.

* OneSceneWonder: [[Music/TheWho Keith Moon]]'s scene as a loopy, likely CampGay fashion designer is probably the only performance worth watching.

* DorkAge: The film came about after West had been coaxed out of retirement. It ensured that her career somehow managed to end on an even lower note than the notorious film adaptation of ''Film/MyraBreckinridge'' eight years prior. Given that West died a year and a half later, she [[NeverLiveItDown never had a chance to live it down]], her prior reputation notwithstanding.

* OneSceneWonder: [[Music/TheWho Keith Moon]]'s scene as a loopy likely-CampGay fashion designer is probably the only performance worth watching.

* AdaptationDisplacement: Despite being one of the most famous and scandalous stage productions of TheRoaringTwenties that got West repeatedly arrested and decried by the MoralGuardians, ''Sextette'' is the version she's most remembered for.

* FetishRetardant: Creator/MaeWest is still being presented as a memetic sex goddess, a good forty years (at least) after her Hollywood prime, complete with obviously false teeth.
-->'''Rex Reed:''' "How do you like it in London?" a reporter asks. "Oh, I like it anywhere," she drools, her left eye taking a look at her right eye.

* TookTheBadFilmSeriously: Creator/TimothyDalton, much as he did in the campy ''Film/FlashGordon1980'', plays his role with complete earnestness. Meanwhile, Creator/DomDeLuise does his best to deliver bad jokes, and shows off his seldom-used dancing skills to great effect.

* BrokenAesop: An odd in-universe case with the film's rendition of "Love Will Keep Us Together." The song is meant to be about a man telling his girlfriend that he'll stay by her side even as she gets older and less attractive, but with the 80-something Mae West the line "Someday your looks will be gone" had to be changed to "Your looks will never be gone." So it's anyone's guess what the song is supposed to mean with that change.
