Whenever I hear this song I think of Mame (the one Rosalind Russell brilliantly brought to life.) So here for your pleasure and enjoyment, I bring you a music video in her honor. Enjoy =]
Critique it, please!
Song: “Killer Queen” by Queen
Film: “Auntie Mame” (from 1958)

Auntie Mame, a.k.a Mame Dennis Burnside, is one of the beloved literary figures of the 20th Century. She has been a gay icon ever since Patrick Denniss novel came out in 1955.
I love rosalind russel
Oh…well done!
Seconded!
This was great!!!!! I know that you posted it a while ago, but I love Auntie Mame. Rosalind Russell was THE best. Lucille Ball fell so flat that it’s ridiculous.Long Live Mame!!! Killer Queen indeed.
I have to see this regularly. So stunningly wonderful. It should be an extra feature on future DVD releases.
Oh God, Angel……. scroll WAY back through the Comments on this Video ! I said the SAME thing months ago !!!!!!! And I LOVE Lucille Ball . This is a GREAT Video for a GREAT Film ! Fantabulany has an ETERNAL place in my heart for this Video alone !!!!!!!!!
Very nicely done!

Love the film. Love the musical, on Broadway and, sin of all sins, the Lucy film. Though Lucy could not, and she admitted it, sing, she handled the comedy beautifully. There has not been a Broadway revival in years, decades, to my knowledge. . Maybe, too, even Kathy Bates, as she can be so funny and warm, Need someone who is totally eccentric, but dramatic as well. Stritch in her priime could have done it. Actually, I cannot see anyone today doing it, to be honest. Any ideas?

Never let a young boy watch this film. It increases his chance of growing up gay.

In either a revival of the play OR musical, she would be brilliant.

How open minded. It never occured to me that people could “grow up” to be gay, but thank you for that sociological update. Your immense IQ is evident by your comment, as well as your name here. I bet you are just so macho, manly, a god, in fact. It is either that or you might be a lesbian!

Ferrier: You’re right, one can’t “grow up gay”. But a child, boy OR girl, can adopt a female mode of “thinking” which is just as dangerous to society.

Wonderful montage - Rosalind Russell is above all one of my favorite actresses, but I fell in love with her first and foremost as Mame who I aspire to be with every new hair color I pick. Thanks for sharing.

Auntie Mame has to be one of the best films ever made. It is just one laugh after another, but it also brings many thought provoking issues to light as well. Rosalind Russell was absolutely brilliant in the title role…love this movie.
@fantabulany Little Me is hilarious - complete with photos!
I thought you did a GRAND job here! “Auntie Mame” is my favorite film, and you did a great job matching the two genres! Kudos!
@MikeIdy6000 STUNNING BOOK!Look for “the First Lady”, done in the same auto-biographical format (w/ friends and famly of Patrick Dennis’ posing for the photos)
