  • I hate Lucy...as Mame!

    One of the all time worst casting choices ever made was to put an aging Lucille Ball in the title role of Mame over Angela Lansbury, thus robbing the world of what would have been a memorable motion picture experience. When you think of what we could have had with Lansbury in the lead, and instead watch Ball attempt to croak and warble out each magnificent song hopelessly off key, it is just too tragic to fathom.

  • Good EXCEPT for Lucille Ball

    Shows how arrogant and selfish Ball was to cast herself in this picture when she was too old, and couldn't sing and she really ruined what could have been a great film version of the musical. Selfish and foolish of her.

  • Campy at it's best

    IT'S ABOUT TIME. A CLASSIC, THE ONLY THING BETTER THAN THIS IS THE FULL MUSICAL WITH LANSBURY AND ARTHUR. BUT LUCY---WOW! even with her singing abilities, WOW!
