  Auntie Mame (1958)
Mame loses nearly everything in the Great Depression, but finds love while disastrously working the toy counter one Christmas at Macy's with courtly (and wealthy) oilman Beauregard Burnside (Forrest Tucker), only to be suddenly widowed a few years after the marriage.
Before Mame quite realizes what has happened, Babcock has nearly won the battle with the college-age Patrick emerging as a white-bread bore engaged to the vacuous debutante Gloria Upson (Joanna Barnes), whose vulgar, reactionary parents are proud to live in a restricted Connecticut suburb.
A reading from Mame's racy autobiography spices up the event, and as the soiree reaches a crescendo of hysteria and near-riot (at least to the eyes of Babcock and the Upsons), Mame's war cry of "Jackpot!" is one of the more sublime lines in Hollywood history.

 Fictionwise eBooks: Auntie Mame by Patrick Dennis
Part of Auntie Mame's considerable charm lies in its blithe irreverence toward potential family angst: Patrick never bemoans his orphanhood, and psychotherapy is properly viewed as a trend, along with Japanese floral arranging and bobbed hair.
Auntie Mame becomes a wicked child's fantasy parent: she's rich, foul-mouthed, and impossibly glamorous, like a rowdy, roller-skating Glinda, waving her wand to provide houseboys, satin sheets, and the occasional Rolls-Royce.
When Auntie Mame was first published in 1955, it became an immediate bestseller, even before the almost universally adoring reviews rolled in; the book must have seemed like an ideal tonic to the Donna Reed torpor of the era.

 Auntie Mame: Review on TheaterMania.com
In the great tradition of the fabulous, one-night-only benefit shows that have happily proliferated over the years, a star-studded performance of Auntie Mame at the John Jay College Theater last night had a packed audience rocking with laughter and bursting with cheers and applause as it enriched the coffers of Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS.
(This was one of Cass's final public appearances; she died in March of 1999.) Busch's previous Auntie Mame was amazing, and last night's show gave the lie to the theory that lightning can't strike twice.
For all of its late entrances, flubbed lines, and missed lighting cues, this was an Auntie Mame to be cherished.
