AUNTIE MAME

Ten-year-old orphan Patrick Dennis has come to live with his nearest relative, Auntie Mame, a marvelous madcap who lives life to the hilt. Mame and her cronies create mayhem, while the sober banker in charge of Patrick's inheritance steers him toward a "respectable" future. Whose influence will prevail? The sedate banker or the irrepressible aunt whose motto is "Life is a banquet -- and most poor suckers are starving to death" ?
