This film is far superior to the musical, mostly thanks to a leading lady who wasn't miscast.

0:53 The Only thing wrong is how they made the Asian butler acted. Racists. Cringey, annoying to see. That's why this failed. Stereotypes, not real how Asians generally are. Adult men don't giggle like a fool or school girls.

18:26 this was social faux pas to steal another's thunder.. instead of congratulating the author Auntie Mame.. she tried to take attention to herself with lame story.

I need to mix a pitcher of martinis using Patrick's method.

My absolute favorite movie of all time from when I was 7-8 yrs old! Rosalind Russell is perfection! I can recite this movie from start to finish. Never gets old. 😂

Love this movie

Mythique

Rosalind Russell was a amazing actress with a powerful presence and reminds me of my late mother

Mame is a queer icon. And even though they don't come right out and say it in these movies; Patrick himself was also gay; which just heightened these characters' iconic status in the gay community.

2:37 "Driniking during business hours" lol

I LOVE this movie!! At least once a year I watch it. SHE was truly the best representation of Auntie Mame 😊

Could you please upload the Mickey Mouse section of this movie? Nobody has uploaded it to KZbin yet.

Too good to be true.

Can you find the full movie?

"Spirits!! Vera, darling, can I persuade you to have a drink?" Kills me every time.

Having read a biography about the first King of Hollywood (his second wife Mary Pickford was the Queen) Douglas was always an exercise type of guy. Always fit as his ability to do stunts and leaps without a double will attest. I learned he had a trench below sidewalk grade built at his studio deep enough to jog in without clothes on. He believed the skin must breathe and practiced naked exercise (discretely of course). The trouble was though he did not drink much, he was a smoker. Later on in his fifties the actor suffered a sudden coronary event and died after his career had basically slowed to a crawl with the coming of sound pictures. He reconciled (mostly) with his actor son Fairbanks Jr. before his death, and his son was kind in his praise in the interviews I have seen.

I have to agree . Both versions are excellent. But there was no one like Rosland for timing and comedy. She has been a lot on my mind as of late been sort of down and just thinking of her and what she has left us makes me smile. All life is just a banquet and most poor suckers are starving. LOL.

I have to thank Letitia for posting this with the FORCED wide-screen view, and the excellent copy it's from.. The detail, color, and beauty of it all is like it was filmed yesterday.. THANK YOU!! :)

I hope this movie does not get a remake. There isn't an actress alive today who can capture the spirit of Mame the way Rosalind did.

Rosalind Russell would've been a FANTASTIC Malefiscent!

GREAT STUFF!!!!!! BESSIE SHOOTING!!!! AND DOUGLAS IN A WESTERN. WHAT A TREAT!!!!!!!!! THANKS 400MILL UPLOADER

I don’t think I realized what that fish game was all about when I saw this as a little kid in the 70’s. I think as a Nonna now, I’d put him in his knickers and take him to school too. Naked fishes for little kiddles is a no no for me too. LOL

Actually, the film begins in 1929...these scenes are in the late 1930's, and the epilogue is 1946.

20:51 I love how she says "WHAT'S WRONG WITH MURIEL PUCE?"

I just bought Auntie Mame on Amazon along with Mame.

"Exclusively what and restricted to whom?" There was so much weight in that line. There was even more meaning with that little raised eyebrow when he said, "wrong side of the tracks."

This is why when I was growing up, I loved watching movies from the 40s, 50s, and 1960s because the overt racism and antisemitism were coded. And it made me pay attention to what adults were actually saying.

Say something about patrik dennes who wrote all those wonder lines said perbatem by the book

😂i forgot how much I loved this movie ❤❤❤❤❤ i wish they made movies like this today, instead of all the violence and pithy remakes of lowball movies

Damn, this scene perfectly highlights Trump Republicans.

One of my top 5 movie favorites!!!! Also, "GYPSY".

I love this movie simply a pleaser every time it is viewed. Glorias " and I stepped on the ball" was lifted and put in to Eddie Murphys "Trading Places" so effectively. For 1958 this touches on so many real social issues of the day, very bold

One of the best movies ever made. A true classic!

Those drinks were lit with gasoline.

Oh, that was the switch when she goes to cry, she put her left hand up but then when they really shoot him holding their shoulders, it’s her right hand never cut one of those errors in an old movie before

It’s true parts of Connecticut NYC & LI we’re restricted. Love when she buys it for the Jewish refugees! This movie was the best. She’s my favorite in the role:)

Love this movie and this scene is so very powerful for the time. Proud of the producers for making a stand.

I want to be Auntie Mame.

I love this movie and also the musical remake starring Lucille Ball (Mame). I haven't seen either of them for years, so I think it's time to search the streaming services.

I love this movie!

Cracks me up every time. Great film.

Oh boy!! The ping pong story!!! 🥰

ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL MOVIE!

Thanks for this clip. Now l want to watch the whole movie, again!😊

The best!

Just a fabulous movie. One of my favorites.

The scenic design is fabulous. And the apartment so fits Mame’s personality.

I was just watching another epic, the twilight zone "Monsters are due on Maple Street" - and that kid talking about flying saucers looked so familiar :D //kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4CaZJhtjpqqfrs

Wellllllrrrrr

Most hilarious scene in "Auntie Mame" Love the whole movie and watch it at least once a year! :)
