My Little Chickadee is a 1940 American comedy-western film starring Mae West and W. C. Fields, featuring Joseph Calleia, Ruth Donnelly, Margaret Hamilton, Donald Meek, Willard Robertson, Dick Foran, William B. Davidson, and Addison Richards, and released by Universal Pictures.

It was directed by Edward F. Cline and the music was written by Ben Oakland (song "Willie of the Valley") and Frank Skinner.

West reportedly wrote the original screenplay, with Fields contributing one extended scene set in a bar.

Universal decided to give the stars equal screenplay credit, perhaps to avoid the appearance of favoritism, but the move incensed West, who declined to team with Fields afterwards.

While she is traveling on a stagecoach with three men and a woman named Mrs. Gideon (Margaret Hamilton), the town gossip and busybody, a masked bandit on horseback holds up the stage for its shipment of gold and orders the passengers to step out.

Aunt Lou (Ruth Donnelly) and Uncle John (Willard Robertson), the masked bandit enters Flower Belle's second floor bedroom and they start kissing.

Offended by her indifferent manner, the judge asks angrily "Young lady, are you trying to show contempt for this court?"

As she has only pretended to marry Twillie for "respectability", Flower Belle gets a separate hotel room in Greasewood City.

Flower Belle attracts the attention of Badger, newspaper editor Wayne Carter (Dick Foran), and every other man in town.

One night, Twillie again attempts to consummate his "marriage" by entering Flower Belle's room disguised as the masked bandit.

The others were Million Dollar Legs (1932), You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (1939), The Bank Dick (1940), and Never Give a Sucker an Even Break (1941).

Due to their efforts the picture offers good mass entertainment, in spite of the fact that the story is thin.
