Directed by Gene Saks

Written by Robert Edwin Lee, Paul Zindel, Jerome Lawrence, Robert Edwin Lee, Jerome Lawrence

The madcap life of eccentric Mame Dennis and her bohemian, intellectual arty clique is disrupted when her deceased brother's 10-year-old son Patrick is entrusted to her care. Rather than bow to convention, Mame introduces the boy to her free-wheeling lifestyle, instilling in him her favorite credo, "Life is a banquet, and most poor sons of bitches are starving to death."
