Title: The Worst Film Version of a Splendid Stage Musical
Review: Step aside GYPSY. Forget HELLO, DOLLY! When it comes to a dreadful film version of a terrific stage musical, the bottom of the barrel is Lucille Ball in MAME. I went to the premiere of the film at Radio City Music Hall in New York, and when Lucy took a bow at from a side box after the movie was over, the audience booed and hissed. It virtually killed film musicals till CHICAGO came along decades later. The stage musical had class. The movie is crass.
