Mame description The 1974 film version of Mame stars legendary Lucille Ball and is based on the 1966 hit Broadway musical, not the 1958 movie. When 10-year-old Patrick Dennis's father dies, he is sent to live with his eccentric Auntie Mame. Mame may know nothing about being a parent, but she's got love and spontaneity in spades, and Patrick blooms in the time spent with her. Though Miss Ball seems sadly miscast when Mame begins (she's too old and can't sing), by the time the movie reaches the famous foxhunt scene when Mame accidentally wins the hunt, and in turn the heart of gallant Beauregard Burnside, you start to believe Lucy is Mame. Reprising her Broadway role (for which she won a Tony), Bea Arthur plays Mame's boozy pal Vera Charles. Songs include the now-classic "We Need a Little Christmas" and "Bosom Buddies" plus "Loving You," sung by Robert Preston's Beau and written for this movie. --Dana Van Nest |

| I loved this movie! I was quite surprised to read that the original reviews of this movie were not favorable. Being a member of the 'next' generation to enjoy this movie, I caught it on AMC. I have looked for it for several years on DVD. I thought Lucille Ball was the best Mame, I saw the 1950s version and thought it was terrible. Bea Arthur was also incredible. Interesting the difference in perspective when this was the first version you saw, versus some who were around to see the first adaptation and broadway play. Having grown up on I Love Lucy reruns,her taking on the role of Mame made me love her acting ability even more. I can't wait to share this movie with my kids! | |
