In fact it is in She Done Him Wrong that West coins one of cinema's most famous quotes to date, "Why don't you come up and see me some time?" It is after meeting and becoming immediately smitten with the priest from the next door mission that West utters these infamous words.
She knows that her power comes from the exploitation of her sexuality, and thus harnesses this to manipulate every man that she comes in contact with.
No longer is she a vision of unattainable richness, but rather she turns out to be a simple girl who only wants to stop looking for love in all the wrong places.

She Done Him Wrong is, to put it frankly, a mess (though not, perhaps, as messy as Sextette).
She was woman and we heard her roar (interestingly enough, there’s long been an urban legend floating around, speculating that West actually was a man in drag—not true, according to wardrobe mistresses who saw her in the buff).
She shot to fame with this and subsequent movies; by 1936, she was the highest-paid woman in the U.S. To the Hays Office, however, she was the sassy, brassy Queen of the Obscene and provided an impetus for a stricter Production Code clamping down on sex, violence and profanity in movies.

 The Ultimate Cary Grant Pages - Reviews of Cary Grant's Movies - She Done Him Wrong
Illustrating the troubled career of Lady Lou, whose heart is bigger than her sense of decorum, she rhymed "amateur" with "connoisseur" in one of her beer-hall ballads and, on the whole, gave a remarkable suspicious impersonation of Diamond Lil.
In fact, "She Done Him Wrong," with a few discreet cuts and alterations, is the same "Diamond Lil" without which no bibliography of Miss West's literary works would be complete.
SHE DONE HIM WRONG is based on a play called DIAMOND LIL, which had been written earlier by West.

She made 12 movies all together, 10 of which she wrote either alone or with collaborators.
Amazingly, SHE DONE HIM WRONG was shot in 18 days, plus one week of rehearsal, as West fiddled with the lines to mislead the censors.
"She had spotted Grant on the Paramount lot and asked to have him in the picture, a request that pleased director Lowell Sherman, who liked Grant's work with Marlene Dietrich in BLONDE VENUS.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, she worked as a child actor before moving to vaudeville and musical comedy.
By 1935 she was the highest-paid woman in the United States, but her flamboyance had stimulated opposition—partly in the form of the new Motion Picture Production Code—and her more decorous films of the late 1930s and early 1940s lacked the force of her early work.
She reappeared on film in 1970 in Myra Breckinridge and in 1978 in Sextette, still playing signature roles in her 70s and 80s.

 Reason
The defendant, an affluent suburban mother, a high-achieving professional woman with a thriving dental practice, and a former beauty queen to boot, is accused of murdering her husband, David, by running him down with her $70,000 Mercedes Benz after catching him at a hotel with his girlfriend.
Harris has claimed that her husband's death was an accident, but that version of the events is rather difficult to sustain in view of evidence indicating that after striking him down, she ran over him at least twice more.
Her defense relies on the concept of "sudden passion"—the idea that Harris was a wronged wife who killed her husband on a moment's impulse, rather than intentionally.
