Title: Rosalind or Lucy...it's up to you
Review: I am one of the rare breed who find both "Auntie Mame" with Rosalind Russell, and the musical "Mame" with Lucille Ball both very entertaining and quite funny. Rosalind Russell's acting is definitely over-the-top in Auntie Mame but I think that's what was intended. She is flamboyant, fun, irreverant, caring, and rarely sober. How do you put all of that into one character without being a little over-the-top? I do agree with a previous reviewer that the Patrick Dennis character is too whiny - but his fiancee easily makes up for any shortcomings I find in his character! She's definitely top drawer! Overall, both are worth purchasing!
