Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaLucille Ball was so dismayed at the harsh reaction the film received from the critics and its lackluster box office performance that she vowed never to make another film again.
- GoofsWhen Mame, Agnes, Ito, and Patrick are preparing to dine with Beau, Mame remarks, "I never thought Santa Claus would look so much like Rhett Butler." This part of the movie is set in the early Great Depression, well before Cuốn Theo Chiều Gió (1939) or even the book (1936) was released.
- Quotes
Mrs. Upson: Mame, you'll never believe this, but this part of the house used to be an old slave kitchen
[black maid walks in]
Mrs. Upson: Oh there you are Bertha. Bertha, this is Mame Dennis. Bertha is one in a million. We don't know what we'd do without her, do we Claude? She's so nice... most of them are getting so snooty these days.

Featured review
some good sequences
Mame was Lucille Ball's last movie, and to honest she was too old to be convincing in much of it. She throws away probably the best song in the musical - If He Walked Into My Life - but claws back a bit of class for Bosom Buddies (with the fabulous Bea Arthur, from the stage production), and the whole Southern sequence, starting with the hunt and culminating in 'Mame' the song. Lucy on roller skates is also pretty funny. I'd have liked to have seen someone like Angela Lansbury or Janis Paige, both who had done the role successfully in stage, star in it, but there are compensations (Jane Connell, who was Agnes on stage, is good here, as is Robert Preston as Beau). It's not bad - it just could have been just that bit better.
