I love this movie. I'm not sure why it got such bad reviews. Maybe it's because movies are so bad lately that Mame looks good now, or maybe I'm just in love with Lucille Ball. Whatever the case, this movie isn't as screamingly bad as some make out to be. Bea Arthur is a delight a Vera. Robert Preston is dashing and charming as ever. The songs by Jerry Herman will make you want to get up and dance. While Lucille could have put a little more "Lucy" in Mame Dennis, she looks like she's having a good time dancing, and singing as best she can. You must admire her will to do all the dancing after the horrible skiing accident left her with a broken leg just months before.
