Editorial Reviews

Lucille Ball stars in this film version of the hit Jerry Herman Broadway musical Mame, which featured an electrifying performance by Angela Lansbury. As Patrick Dennis's plucky and resilient Auntie Mame, Ball's low-pitched, growling moan of a voice (a spine-chilling reminder of the sound of Linda Blair's demon-possession in The Exorcist) and her gaudy and lumbering fashion-horse gait turns Mame into an elderly cross-dresser. In this guise, Mame rehashes the plot from Dennis's novel and the previous non-musical Rosalind Russell film. During the Depression era 1930s, she enrolls her nephew into a liberal private school, tries a turn in show business (with the help of her friend Vera (Beatrice Arthur), and marries a well-to-do Southern planter (Robert Preston). After her husband's death, Mame concerns herself with her now grown-up nephew, his girlfriend, and the girlfriend's intolerant parents. Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

June 27, 2008: They should have called this movie "VERA", because of Bea Arthur's memorable recreation of her stage performance...I actually don't think Lucy does too bad a job here, she is just much to old and her voice was shot by this point. But the memorable lines all come from Bea: "Sell her own mother but brilliant!"...."I was never in the chorus"....."I married him, i NEVER dated him"....and of course her hilarious, "Man in the Moon is a Lady" number, topped by a slapping fit with her maid. Genius! Worth seeing just for that moment.

June 01, 2007: All though Warner Bros. made a huge mistake not casting Angela Lansbury in the title role of "Mame" for which she won a Tony the movie version with Ball is still charming. Agreeing Ball is no song bird she wore the costumes beautifully & acted the part well. Having Bea Arthur & Jane Connell recreating their original Broadway roles really makes the movie a classic in my eyes. If you are a fan of the roaring twenties & are a "Mame" buff don't miss it - "Lifes a banquet & most poor suckers are starving to death!"
