My favorite thing about Mame is that she immediately 100% throws herself into taking care of this kid. It's not a very deep movie, but she always shows how much she cares about him and treats him like he matters.
This is one of my favorite scenes in the movie. I'm an elementary school teacher and we are always giving kids vocabulary lists. This makes me smile. "You won't need some of these words for months and months....." Indeed!
I love Mame! Rosalind Russell was amazing in this movie, glamorous but hilarious! The clothes and the elegance throughout this movie, I just want a house that big with tall walls! There’s a lot of older homes like that still in Hollywood and Beverly Hills. I think this was to be in New York though. I read that there wasn’t any queer or gay intentions in this movie or even leaned that way. But since it was the 1950s, a lot of movies were just glamorous. Mame was the epitome of that fun, funniest, open minded and full of life kind of lady with the best clothes in town, still down to earth and will subtly put you in your place without really telling you off but she’s the kind of person that everyone would love to have for a best friend or an Aunt, even a mom! She was against the Conservative in this movie but in actual life, she was Conservative. Years after Mame was shown in theaters, the movie and Mame started to get more gay fans, and still loved by many people. I saw a college play of Mame when I was ten, neighbors daughter was in Mame, her sister invited me to go with her to see the play, her sister was Glory in the play, she was excellent. That’s actually the first time I heard about Mame, until I saw the original movie years later on t.v., I didn’t understand much of the play at ten years old but when I was about 13, I laughed so much. I though Patrick was a cutie! This movie will always be a classic and I still want to live in a big Hollywood home with tall walls and long staircase! I have several nieces and nephews, maybe I can be that fun loving Aunty, (I already am but they all live in different states or cities 🙁)…and my hubby can buy us that big house! Lol 😁😂
it will stimulate his psychie & stir up his libido! (later) Patrick ...stinko, blotto, neurotic, heterosexual... Mame: Mymymymy...what an eager little mind! you won't need to know some of these words for months & months! 😂
Daconqueror 777 Well I liked Is the English Lady sick Auntie Mame? Oh she's not English, she's from Pittsburgh. She sounded English. Well when you're from Pittsburgh you have to do something. PAH ha ha, that's cold. When I think of Pittsburgh, I think it a drab dreary place speckled with coal mines and steel mills and foundries, palled with dirty industrial air, coughed out by brick smoke stacks...and that's it. So nothing at all Cosmopolitan in that! It's not the French Riviera nor Morocco, I'm just saying. And I guess on account of that uninteresting proletariat-sounding background that's what Auntie Mame meant that Vera had to do something (seriously) about for The Remedy to polish and brighten her image and better fit into "Park Avenue" and the "Bloomsbury" set. Ah ha ha, oh gosh! Mame is terrible! Ah ha ha ha:)
TarotMage Yeah but that didn't do much good. Remember soon after Patrick got sent to that very "progressive" school in which one day all the kids, including teach, were instructed to strip down to their "birthday suits" and play "fish puppies"? Which of course outraged Mr. Babbitt, I mean, Babcock, upon the shocking discovery in checking up on his ward, Patrick. Talk about "dangerous waters" getting deep there!

😅😅😅😅😅😅
what an amazing memory!!! I used to watch this with my mom when i was a kid, and watching this is transporting me back...
Notice the two lesbians in the background. Daring scene in the 1950's.
Could be Esther Lape and Elizabeth Read, a lesbian socialite couple. Elizabeth was Eleanor Roosevelt's lawyer.
A lot of this movie is a complete swipe at McCarthyism. One of my absolute favorites!
I never noticed until now the two lesbians in the background of this scene! Beautiful!!!
Superb film. Great slam at Pittsburgh

Love how she cuts him off after 'heterosexual' -- it's as if she knew he was about to venture into some pretty dangerous territory. XD

Daconqueror 777 “free love” not neurotic. Still don’t know what half of those words...
@@SwarthySkinnedOne I believe it was "fish families."
Im here for this b*!chs clothes ok!! Mame's costumes forever give me life daahlink
The way she wore them was the real feat.
Anyone have a video of the Lady Iris scene near the end?
The punchline of the scene is missing.
