Storyline
The musical revolves around the antics of Mame Dennis, a fun-loving, wealthy eccentric with a flare for life and a razor sharp wit. Her life is suddenly changed when she becomes the guardian of her late brother's only child, Patrick Dennis. Her adventures take us from the speak-easies of the roaring 20's to the depression following the great Stock Market crash. She is rescued by a wealthy Southern plantation owner, marries and is widowed suddenly, and through it all, manages to keep things under control. With some help from her dearest friend, Vera Charles, she helps keep things at 3 Beekman Place a rousing free-for-all. Written by John Deming <jfdeming@sprynet.com>

Trivia
The interior of Mame's Beekman Place apartment was built in Sound Stage 25 on the Warner Bros. Studio lot; but the exterior of the apartment was located on the back-lot's "Wimpole Street," the only exterior sets from My Fair Lady that remained on the studio lot in 1973, when "Mame" was filmed. Mame's apartment was in the same row of townhouses where the exterior of Henry Higgins's home had been filmed. The street was converted to rows of brownstone tenements in 1981 for the musical Annie, produced by Columbia Pictures, which had moved onto the Warner Bros. lot in 1972. See more »Goofs
Continuity: When Mr. Babcock and Mame argue, she has her hands protectively on Patrick's shoulders. Shot cuts to Babcock saying "That's not a school, it's the Garden of Eden," and when it cuts back to the longer shot, her hands are covering Patrick's ears. This odd bit of continuity is due to cut dialogue, in which she declares "What could be more wholesome and natural?" and he responds "It is not wholesome and natural for boys and girls to run around half nude." Mame is shown covering Patrick's ears while responding "Mr. Babcock! Not in front of the B-O-Y!" See more »Quotes
Vera Charles: I'm thrilled by the style and wit of each jest that you make. It's bracing to me. Trade quips with my bosom buddy. You Woolcott, you Benchley, you snake.See more »
