I saw the stage version with Angela Landsbury and loved the non-musical film and still think this is a great film! Despite the negative critical synopsis BLOCKBUSTER is using for this, watch this movie. If you love Lucy, you will love Mame. Beatrice Arthur (Golden Girls) nearly steals the movie. This is a fun loving musical camp fest. Most people who review this movie on Amazon - love it. There are a few who don't get Lucy trying to sing. It fit her character and we let her get away with it. Have you ever heard Bette Davis sing? She did once and it was a hoot! Children and mature audiences enjoy this movie alike. Watch Mame!

Lucille Ball gives a memorable perfomance as the eccentric Auntie Mame, Mame is an underrated musical with a great cast and production value. Mame is a highly enjoyable musical , even though Lucille Ball's vocal aren't the greatest it is still fun to watch. When Mame was released in the mid 70s (1974) Broadway musicals had fallen out of fashion with the audience of that era, and were considered old fashion. Critics were brutal and unfair to this movie because many critics were upset that Angela Lansbury who originated the part on Broadway in 1966 did not recreate the title role in the movie version . To Sum it all up fairly Lucille Ball was great as Mame for the movie version and Angela Lansbury was great on Broadway.

I agree that Blockbuster should stay away from negative remarks concerning any movie! Let the viewers decide! And yes, I love this movie. Loved the non-musical as well. So what if Lucille Ball can't sing...she does not have to sing well. She still can sell the songs! And Bea Arthur is a hoot! Campy? Yes! But aren't most musicals??? Rent this movie and relive an era long gone!

The Rosalind Russel version is sublime and superior to this one. "Are we all lit?" drawls Mame.
