Title: Had she lived....
Review: Judy Garland had first crack at the movie role. But, unfortunately, Garland did not live to essay it. She would've been great. Instead, we have Lucille Ball, who cannot sing this wonderful score, as Mame. This is horrendous. She chokes out the songs (wonderful songs) and doesn't seem to be having much fun in the role. We HATE Lucy in this role as it is so far beyond her limited scope. (Am I the only one who really didn't like her shrill, manipulative, carping woman on "I Love Lucy"? The orchestrations are great but Lucy just doesn't cut the mustard here. If only we could've had Judy...........
Is the review positive or negative?
