The theatrical stage show gets the cinematic treatment with 1958's Auntie Mame. Warner has done wonderful work on this 2.35:1 anamorphic widescreen transfer. Sporting glorious Technicolor patterns and sharp black levels, this transfer appears to be in excellent shape. While a few inconsistencies show up from time to time (including a scattering of grain), overall this image looks exceptional and should please fans. The soundtrack is presented in Dolby Digital 1.0 Mono in English and French and isn't quite as exciting as the transfer. Though the music, dialogue and effects are all clear and concise, overall this mix lacks any true fidelity or lack of directional effects. Also available on this disc are English, French and Spanish subtitles. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of grand supplements to compliment the film -- all that's been included on this disc is a music-only isolated track, some cast / award listings, and theatrical trailers for the film and the 1974 Lucille Ball remake Mame.

This movie is about a very happy go lucky woman who inspires her nephew to be as free willed and care free as she is. This movie brings about laughter and tears. I would recommend this movie to any movie buff.
