This is one witty, zany, rollicking romp for the great Rosaline Russell, truly the pinnacle of a marvelous acting career. "Auntie Mame" began life as a novel by Patrick Dennis. The incomparable writing team of Betty Comden and Adolph Green gave it a whole new life on screen, and the clever lines and preposterous pronouncements of Russell as Mame are fresh to this day: "Life is a banquet, and most poor suckers are starving to death."
