CLASSICS: Auntie Mame

Warner Bros

Let's ring in the holiday season with our newest episode of Front Row Classics! We bring you 1958's Auntie Mame starring Rosalind Russell, recreating her Tony nominated stage role for this film. Brandon and Eric are joined by Beyond the Mouse's Brett Rutherford to discuss this legendary comedy. The hosts discuss among many topics: Russell's hilarious performance, the amazing roster of character actors in the supporting cast and the life affirming themes that still resonate today.  We know 2020 has been a challenging year for us all. So, let Auntie Mame remind you that "life is a banquet" this holiday season.

Brandon Davis is the host of Classics and Zone-i-Sodes on the Front Row Network. A true fan of cinema history, Brandon holds the distinction of being the official film historian of the Network.
