Title: Painful to watch.. what were they thinking?
Review: A textbook example of how Hollywood can screw up a good musical. Poor Lucy. What was she thinking. Her singing is a croak, a growl, and a bark. She can barely walk, much less sing. And poor Robert Preston and Bea Arthur too be stuck in this mess. They deserved better. This movie is sad to watch when you realize that Angela Lansbury was available and would have been wonderful. But Lucy had the power and ego to match, and poor Angela was a "stage" star. If you love Mame, get "Auntie Mame" instead. Roz Russell is warm, funny, sincerely and loving. Lucy is none of these.
