Summary: 5 Stars
This is great movie I recommend it to anyone who likes old movies.
This movie is far superior to the remake with Lucelle Ball, the humor is not forced it just happens.
Amazom is a great company to order from they usually have what you want and send it out in a timely manner.
DVD Review: Auntie Mame (Rosalind Russell, not Lucille Ball)
Summary: 5 Stars
This role was made for Rosalind Russell! While always a fan of Lucille Bsll's wrk, this non-musical Rosalilnd Russell version is unbeatable. She inspires in every way, including individuality, laughter, and openeess to the world around us. This version also included an amazing supporting cast, including: the incomparable Peggy Cass (as Agnes Gooch; a young Larry Hagmen, Billie Burke, Forrest Tucker and everyone else around Mame/ Even as a child ( who had my own personal Auntie Mame in my life), I was inspired to "Live!live! Live!"
Thank yu me for showing me, even as a child), that "life is a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death". It inspired me and still does...in sptie of what anyone thinks. Thanks Patrick and Mame Dennis! If you've nto seen this you are missing out!

Very happy with it good move Rusand Russel is the best DVD Review: Fun with an eccentric aunt
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a wonderful film and has long been one of my favorites. Rosalind Russell gives a classic performance as Mame Dennis in the film version of the play that later was used to create the musical "Mame". The film runs the gamut from wacky comedy to some wonderful pathos as Mame takes over the raising of Patrick, her orphaned nephew. I've always gotten a special kick out of the scenes between the young boy and Mame, they are so well played and have a special magic all their own. More than a few tugs at your heartstrings too. The film is wonderfully scored by Bronislaw Kaper and this edition of the DVD includes a special feature where you can watch the film only with the music, no dialogue. That is just great as far as I am concerned as I think this is a truly fabulous score (overlooked for an Oscar) and it's a treat to hear it by itself. The film was nominated for Best Picture (lost to "Gigi"), Rosalind Russell was nominated for Best Actress (lost to Susan Hayward but Ros did win her third Golden Globe for the role), and the major technical awards in 1958 were swept by "Gigi". The direction is a bit stagebound by todays standards but don't let that stop you from enjoying this marvelously witty comedy with a top notch cast.
Description of Auntie Mame
Rosalind Russell recreates her hallmark stage role as the accentric grande dame of highlife, briging up a 10-year-old nephew. A banquet of laughter, nominated for 6 Academy Awards(R).Remember darlings, "Life's a banquet, and most suckers are starving to death." That tag line sums up this exuberant and immensely amusing 1958 comedy that can be seen repeatedly, as it never grows stale. Rosalind Russell plays the flamboyant aunt who takes in poor, orphaned Patrick, played with sophisticated ease by Jan Handzlik. Mame, all glitter and martinis, raises her nephew in a world filled with acceptance and her oddball literati friends. Nothing is too bohemian. This unfolds in colorful episodic segments that allow us to watch Patrick grow as Mame oversees his unusual upbringing while she juggles a few spouses and an extended household. Russell, who created the title role for the stage, simply shines. She is bright and brassy, but never goes too far over the top. Peggy Cass is a comedic delight as her befuddled secretary, and Coral Browne brings class to the production as her best friend. This was based on the exuberant stage play, which in turn was based on Patrick Dennis's humorous, bittersweet novel. The screen version was written by the clever duo of Betty Comden and Adolph Green. Not to be confused with the pathetically lackluster musical version starring Lucille Ball (1974), simply entitled Mame. --Rochelle O'Gorman
