Title: Lucille Ball Slaughters The Role Of Mame
Review: The only way you could get me to watch this a second time would be in A Clockwork Orange mode of enforced viewing.The gravel and frog in her voice when she sings are worse than finger nails on a chalk board and she conveys none of the charm or warmth of the role.Live on stage with a talented production is the best way to see Mame and Rosalind Russell is the only movie version that comes close to capturing the humor, warmth and spirit that is Auntie Mame.Save your ears and eyes, avoid the Lucille Ball version Mame.Remember, there are things you can't un-see and un-hear and this production is one of those.
