AUNTIE MAME

When shy young heir Patrick is orphaned at the age of ten, the only family he has is his wealthy and eccentric aunt, a New York socialite named Mame. Prone to dramatic costumes, flights of fancy and expensive whims, Mame will raise Patrick the only way she knows how - with humour, mishaps, unforgettable friends and lots of love. From progressive schooling and Mame''s search for a husband to her short-lived literary career and the puncturing of some of Patrick''s romances, "Auntie Mame" is the most magnificent and hilarious work of love, style, wit and the life of a modern American.
