I loved this movie. I loved her in this movie. If you read the book Lucille plays Mame more true to character... she was not supposed to be a “knock out singer.” Her acting was awesome. Her dancing was great too... the chemistry between her and Robert Preston is so sweet. Lucille was a luck lady to have a chance to have Robert Preston holding, dancing, and singing with her. Robert Preston could have sung to me like that anytime.

Finally! Finally! I have found a kindred spirit who understands how wonderful Lucille Ball's performance is - and the whole movie.

[@lesliesykes-warren5664]

Love this movie one of the best

[@creepgreen]

Classy beautiful lady - perfect in the film!

Does anyone know who the heck this guy is? He's really bad at talking to her it is cringe

[@colonialradio1]

so you get a legend in an interview and the first thing you talk about it the "movie drags after the Mame number." Oh Dear Lord. What a putz.

[@julietteyork6293]

I hated this movie and Lucy’s performance was painful but I agree with you that this interviewer was a total schmuck for doing that. I bet he got an earful afterwards.

Lucy seems remarkably relaxed here. Nice to see. :)

[@scotnick59]

When Lucille was tired, her left eye drooped somewhat; it's evident here.

[@astornic]

Interesting observation. Though I think she got an eye lid lift in the late 60s. And even here she is wearing the tape that pulls her eyes & face back.

I love this movie.

[@justme6767]

I love Mame it's my favorite

[@emanabdelhamid7661]

She didn't mention Bea's role? Vera Charles was fabulous

[@rexlex1736]

They should have hired ANGELA!!!!

[@uofa82]

If you can’t say something nice…. Save your negative comments for the director and producer. Very low class to put Lucy on the spot like that. Love ❤ Lucy!

[@alejandromontalvo3423]

Im a big fan of Miss Ball but her incarnation of Mame and the film itself was a disaster. Nothing can top Rosalind Russell in the 1958 film, Mame. And Coral Browne as her best friend Vera.

Warning: Don't smoke

[@georgiesinclair6951]

One of the great movie disasters in history!!!

[@scotnick59]

Agreed.

[@jamesfox2579]

Absolutely!!

[@luisnatal8658]

a terrible miscast for Miss Ball. I love her but I hate this work she did :(

[@scotnick59]

IF Lucy was 15 years younger, she would have been terrific as Mame

[@andrewstreasures531]

Agree to disagree I thought she was just fine !

[@jamesrender6701]

@@andrewstreasures531 I agree 100%. She was great.

[@PantheraLeoBoston]

She was every bit as good as Rosalind Russell or Angela Lansbury. Better, actually. Lansbury sings better, but she doesn't dance as well. Neither is as pretty.

[@tbec3011]

Dillusional. And yes, I love Lucy.
