Fantastic!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

This film should really be classified as a Comedy musical as that's what it is! I died laughing in so many scenes. There was perfect comedic timing by Lucille Ball, Bea Arthur, and Jane Connell. There are many serious parts but I feel that the humor dominates and makes this a lighthearted, funny musical. The songs are great and range from funny and fun to serious. If you like older comedy, definitely see this.

1 out of 10. Too bad you don't accept fractions. In my opinion there was no reason to make this awful film. I angered me so just to watch it! That had never happened to me while watching any other film. I know I kept comparing it to the amazing,brilliant,wonderful Auntie Mame with Rosalind Russell while watching it but that's the point. Changing some of the brilliant dialog is one thing. But what about just a little character development? One minute Robert Preston is skiing and the next he is dead! They change the part of Peggy to some boring scullery maid with a horrible fake Irish accent. Patrick does not even know shes in the same room and in the next scene they are married! The character of Gooch was completely ruined. There was no reason to turn her in to an unmarried slut And what was with that horrifying kid at the end? They change his name from Michael to Peter??? Why??? He was so bad...and had such an annoying voice i wanted to kick my television. This had so much potential but was done so poorly. There was no reason for the lousy changes,poor character development and some of the funniest moments eliminated. Yes I know it's a different version being a musical and all but it still made me throw up.

I happened to see Angela Lansbury in the 1983 Broadway revival of the show that made her the toast of the town twenty years earlier, and when I saw her in the role, it drove home to me that the single biggest disaster in the film version is Lucille Ball.Not that there aren't other things wrong with it. The score is sloppily adapted; "Bosom Buddies" and "We Need a Little Christmas" are taken at a snail's pace, and the film really never survives the fact that the score was written for a star who could actually sing.Ball's lack of singing ability isn't the only liability here either. For starters, at sixty-three, she was much too old for the part, necessitating the use of heavy filters in all her close-ups which has the result of making it seem as if she were being photographed through tissue paper.There are a few bright moments, though. Thank God for Beatrice Arthur and Jane Connell. Both from the original Broadway cast, they bring their characters to the screen pretty much intact; in fact between them they practically steal the picture.Not that stealing the picture from Ball is a great difficulty here; even her comedic talents seem to have deserted her, and what little dancing she does consists mostly of being lifted up by a bunch of men and the occasional kick. (Lauren Bacall did the same sort of thing twice on Broadway and somehow got away with it, but those shows were written specifically for her) To coin a phrase, I love Lucy. And I do. I was a fan, and I still am. Unfortunately she took on a project that she simply did not have the talent for. And the result is a Godawful mess.

Lucille Ball was very fine as Mame Dennis in the Warner Bros film "Mame". Starting with the terrific opening sequence the rest of the film was what Warner Bros and Lucille Ball wanted, a photographed Play. Lucille Ball started her career as a showgirl in the 20's and nearly 50 years later still had a terrific showgirl figure. I liked Robert Preston as the male star. Bruce Davison had a fine start to his career and does well in this movie. To those who still years after this movie opened still complain about the casting of Lucille Ball, the fact is that money talks. Lucille Ball was the only star of her contemporaries who could have opened this Warner Bros picture as well as it did. Great songs from Jerry Herman, and choreography by Oona White. Additonally there has been some carping on these boards that Ms. Ball invested $5 Million US Dollars to co produce Mame and insure her casting. On a YouTube Video with Ms. Ball on the Phil Donahue show the host asks Ms. Ball if she wanted the movie to be a hit for the Studio. Ms. Ball replies on YouTube that "It wasn't My studio, it was Warner Bros., but no one wants to be in a flop". I hope this settles once and for all: Lucille Ball did not invest in Mame as a ploy to be its star. David Barra Los Angeles
