She Done Him Wrong is a Pre-Code 1933 Paramount Pictures comedy / romance motion picture starring Mae In the early 1930s Mae West's films saved Paramount Pictures from bankruptcy. Paramount Pictures Corporation is an American motion picture production and Distribution company, based in Hollywood California. Depression era audiences responded to the fantasy rise of a woman from the wrong side of the tracks. Cary Grant stars opposite her for the second and final time. The film makes little use of his talents. West's ribald satire outraged moralists. Film historians cite her as one of the factors for the strict Hollywood production code that soon followed. For the television broadcasting term please see Production code number. The Hays Office forced a few changes including the title of the song "No One Does It Like a Dallas Man", changed to "No One Loves Me Like a Dallas Man".
