As Auntie Mame. Truly,this movie is her masterpiece,with HIS GIRL FRIDAY and PICNIC right behind it.She captured the manic and screwball comic character of Mame Dennis while also showing the love,kindness,and tolerance she possessed.A mention should be made of the great comic performances of Coral Browne as Vera,Peggy Cass as Gooch,and Joanna Barnes as Gloria.This film is a must for anyone's video collection.You will laugh all the way through it.My favorite line is a response by Mame to a remark by the viscious Sally Cato. Sally:"Mame honey, I'm just gonna hold my breath 'til tomorrow morning". Mame:"You do that,sugar".
