I think a great movie could be made out of Mame, with the right star and director, neither of which it had the first time around. Baranskl would be awful in the lead; I saw her in DC and kept on thinking that she would've been a great Vera, but she just doesn't have that something to be a good Mame.
WhileI don't think it will ever make into the silver screen again -- I can hope -- maybe, if The Prom is big hit on Netflix...
I agree about Mame. I adore Christine Baranski. I saw her as Mame in DC as well. Did not like her as Mame but she would have been in an incredible Vera Charles.
