Auntie Mame

(1958) dir Morton DaCosta w/Rosalind Russell, Roger Smith, Jan Handzlik, Forrest Tucker [143 min; 35mm]
Effervescent, irrepressible, lovely, extravagant, unconventional – Mame! Rosalind Russell absolutely owns this film as the title character, a flamboyant 1920’s Manhattan socialite who becomes the caretaker for her stuffy brother’s orphaned son, Patrick. As Patrick grows up, Mame tries to instill in him the joy of life that she has maintained through times rich and poor, happy and sad. One of the most exuberant odes to individuality ever committed to celluloid.

A "Double Feature" ticket additionally allows admission into the 9:15 PM screening of HIS GIRL FRIDAY. No additional purchase is necessary.
