Klondike Annie


Klondike Annie is a 1936 blackandwhite comedy drama film starring Mae West and Victor McLaglen. The film was cowritten by West from her play Frisco Kate, which she wrote in 1921. Raoul Walsh directed.

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 Wests films, scenes were deleted to make this film presentable in most markets. Eight minutes of the film were deleted. The footage is presumably lost forever. 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 veiled connection of Sister Annie and The Salvation Army made this scene inappropriate to the censorswho? but its deletion made the final print of the film appear choppy.
