Not much in "Night After Night" stands the test of time. It is most conspicuous as Mae West's debut and for some risqué dialogue. West, a close friend of George Raft from their Vaudeville days, hints at the saucy legend she will become.
The story is insubstantial and hardly credible - certainly more style than substance. There is hardly time to care about anyone. Raft is clearly uncomfortable and gets no help from Mayo's stiff direction. Frighteningly, Raft is sharpest when he turns violent on his lady love.
There are some major highlights: For the guys: * Mae makes the best of her brief scenes. For the gals: * In an early sequence, Raft is basically naked.
