| Kansas City KansanSteve CrumTHE Rosalind Russell movie, and still fabulously funny. |
| The Stranger (Seattle, WA)Charles MudedeTo this day, I still regard Auntie Mame as one of the highest of achievements of that very American decade. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyBase on a book and Broadway play, the movie is still too theatrical due to Da Costa's mediocre helming, but it's a great, campy and colorful showcase for comedienne Rosalind Russell in her best-known role which she had originated on stage. |
| User ReviewStephen SOne of the most enjoyable movies in my list! |
| User ReviewOrlando LA camptastic treat, timeless and hilarious!!! |
| User ReviewGreg PProbably one of the most influential films for me. Live. Live. Live. |
| User ReviewOlly MFabulous! from one end to the other and back again. Rosalind Russell is perfect in the title role, and although it is a great comedy film, it is also touching in places. For some reason, I seem to well up regularly, as it is just such a beautiful experience to watch it. |
| User ReviewVirginia KThe switchboard scene is a classic, as is the riding to the hounds. We should all have an Auntie Mame in our lives. |
| User ReviewGrace FIt's a long committment, just shy of two and a half hours...but Rosalind Russell drives this movie as the eccentric, unforgettable Mame. |
| User ReviewJason HOne of my favorites and the best version. The one with Lucille Ball just isn't the same. Wish I had the courage to live like her. And the money! |
