This is one of the top ten worst movies I've seen in my lifetime. Lucille Ball, whom I adore, comes off as cold and bitchy. Bea Arthur is at least somewhat entertaining but overbearing and I'm normally a huge fan of hers. Patrick is played by complete no talents and the story is absolutely disjointed and dull. I kept watching to the end thinking it might improve but no such luck.

But, unfortunately the other Mame is better. I've seen almost all of Lucille Ball's work, have purchased quite a bit, and have seen her stuff multiple times throughout my life, but the other Mame is better, as much as it hurts to admit it.

A lot of charm,Bea Arthur is magnificent! While I normally prefer the Rosalind Russell version, I still find myself watching this one as frequently.
