Wissenswertes

Klondike Annie is a 1936 American Western film starring Mae West and Victor McLaglen. The film was co-written by West from her play Frisco Kate, which she wrote in 1921 and a story written by the duo Marion Morgan and George Brendan Dowell. Raoul Walsh directed.

Production

Production began on September 16, 1935, and concluded in December of that year. Klondike Annie was released February 21, 1936 at a production cost of $1,000,000.

As usual with West's films, scenes were deleted to make this film presentable in most markets. Eight minutes of the film were deleted. The footage is presumably lost. In this lost footage is the scene in which The Frisco Doll stabs Chan Lo when he was going to stab her instead. The other lost scene is when The Frisco Doll switched identities with Sister Annie and dressed Sister Annie up as a prostitute.

The film was banned from the Chinese market, with the censor saying it violated Chinese national honor.

The State of Georgia went so far as to ban this film outright.

The film caused a rift between West and William Randolph Hearst, who decided never to print West's name in any of his newspapers. The reason given was the racy material of the film and West's sexual persona in a religious setting. West was quoted as saying "I may have invited censorship into Hollywood, but I also saved the industry and Paramount."
