The Last Movie You Watched

[Oldandeasilyconfused]

Auntie Mame.

 Have seen the film and quite liked it. Its theatrical roots are clearly visible. Would l have really liked to have seen it on stage with the same actors.

Wasn't there a musical with Lucile Ball?  All I remember is that it was ghastly.

There's a relatively unknown film "Travels With My Aunt" with Maggie Smith. To put it politely,  Maggie plays an aging courtesan.


"Travels with My Aunt is a 1972 American comedy film directed by George Cukor, written by Jay Presson Allen and Hugh Wheeler, and starring Maggie Smith. The film is loosely based on the 1969 novel of the same name by . The film's plot retains the book's central theme of the adventurous, amoral aunt and her respectable middle class nephew drawn in to share her life, and also features her various past and present lovers who were introduced in the book, while providing this cast of characters with different adventures to the ones thought up by Greene, in different locales (North Africa rather than the book's South America). It was released on December 17, 1972."
