Reviews for Auntie Mame
Base 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.
Possibly the greatest comedy of all time, with a performance by Rosalind Russell that can only be described as 'bravura'.
Supostamente baseado em fatos reais, traz Russell em uma atuação sensacional e conta com ótima direção de arte.
Rosalind Russell in a brilliant turn as we examine the manic life of an eccentric rich aunt who must spoil her niece at all costs.
