This is one of my favorite movies; I also loved the original books "Auntie Mame" and "Around the World With Auntie Mame." Russell had originally played Mame on Broadway two years earlier. I remember reading somewhere that Beatrice Lillie was actually the first choice for the role (stage) but wasn't available at the time. She would later be a replacement as Mame Dennis. BTW: Shaking hands with the monkey wasn't intended, but Russell just went with it, and it was too good to leave out

I actually had 2 "Auntie Mames", each a sister of each of my parents. I was on the receiving end of their competition to spoil me throughout my childhood with gifts and travel. Even as a young adult when I purchased my first house, one aunt bought me a new refrigerator and the other bought me a washer and dryer. My parents weren't thrilled with this but I was!

@@gardendormouse6479 There cannot be an Auntie Mame in the 21st Century. AM was a bohemian, she flouted society's rules. There are no rules now. For example, she took in a pregnant single girl, a shocking thing then. Today, who cares about that, or about anything? And so AM is a relic of the past. But a highly entertaining one!

This movie always brings tears of joy every time I see it. Is it melancholy? Is it bittersweet passion? I really can't say, but Rosalind Russell as auntie Mame will always be my most affectionate hero. I guess it is the eternal enthusiasm that creates the mysticism around this character. We all should be so fortunate to have an auntie name in our lives

A little backstory. At :44 that's Henry Brandon as Acasius Page, the bohemian school teacher. His partner was Mark Herron, who would leave Brandon to marry Judy Garland in 1965. Garland drove Herron away with her craziness, including overdoses, setting fires and knife-wielding. Within months, Herron moved out and back to Brandon, with whom he lived to the end of his life.

I love this movie for many reasons. #1 It's the only movie left of my favorites that I can watch 3 x's in a row when I rent it for 48hrs. And I'll never buy it because I'll never watch it again if I do, which is what happened once I bought DVD's over the years. I was also very lucky to have had several Auntie Mame's growing up! My maternal grandmother who gave me the kind of love Mame had for Patrick, my paternal Great Aunt who taught me how to use all the right forks, spoons, plates and glasses. You know, just in case I ever found myself at a black for dinner in 1920 as she had. She also taught me about architecture, how to tell an antique from a reproduction, the names of all of the flowers in her vast garden patches on the 2 Acres of back yard , and how to act like a gentleman. She was a RN that graduated from nursing school in 1931 and taught by nuns so she had a very strict work ethic and took caring for people very seriously. I would spend my summers with her, my grandparents, my dad and my mother's cousin and his wife who I absolutely loved and was the quirky one like Mame was. I guess I love this movie so much because I can relate to it. In a way I lived it and the relationship between Mame and Patrick is one I understand and relate to. And now that I'm in my early 50's and desperately missing all the good things in life, watching this movie makes me feel all of that love again. How I desperately wish I could see all of them again. In a way I can thanks to Auntie Mame!
@MichaelDJ689 ай бұрын
My grandmother was also quite like Auntie Mame. People actually called her that because she resembled Rosalind Russell in the 1950s. I know what you mean about buying the DVD and then never looking at the movie again--I have that experience a bit and find that I'll easily watch a movie I have on DVD again if it shows up on TCM or is easily available to stream.
