Review of Mame (1974) by Greg W — 02 Dec 2015
The most surreal part of watching this film was recognizing how every scene in Auntie Mame (1958) did it better. I don't mean to let the superior affect my judgement, but every moment simply left me longing for Rosalind Russell's quirky, energetic performance.
It has the kind of nostalgia that makes me think I may have underrated the original film if this is what the remake is like: static, boring shots leaving the viewer to focus on the raspy, aging voice of a miscast Lucille Ball.
