Auntie Mame: An Irreverent Escapade is a 1955 novel by American author Patrick Dennis chronicling the madcap adventures of a boy, Patrick, growing up as the ward of his Aunt Mame Dennis, the sister of his dead father. The book is often described as having been inspired by Dennis' real-life eccentric aunt, Marion Tanner, whose life and outlook mirrored those of Mame, but Dennis denied the connection. The novel was a runaway bestseller, setting records on the New York Times bestseller list, with more than 2 million copies in print during its initial publication. It became the basis of a stage play, a film, a stage musical, and a film musical. In 1958, Dennis wrote a sequel titled Around the World with Auntie Mame.
Auntie Mame is a 1958 American Technirama Technicolor comedy film based on the 1955 novel of the same name by Edward Everett Tanner III (under the pseudonym Patrick Dennis) and its 1956 theatrical adaptation by Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee. This film version stars Rosalind Russell and was directed by Morton DaCosta. It is not to be confused with a musical version of the same story that appeared on Broadway in 1966 and was later made into a 1974 film, Mame, starring Lucille Ball as the title character.

Uno dei miei film preferiti: "La signora mia zia" (Auntie Mame) di Morton DaCosta (1958), tratto dal romanzo "Zia Mame" di Patrick Dennis, con Rosalind Russell (1907 - 1976).

"It Had to Happen", released on Valentine's Day, 1936, starred George Raft and Rosalind Russell in their only screen pairing. The original print ad tagline proclaimed, "The "Rendezvous" Girl Keeps A Daring Date With The Screen's Irresistible Lover!" A well-wrought story with fine performances, this film was a box office hit. georgeraft.com #rosalindrussell #georgeraft #moviestar #goldenageofhollywood #romancemovies #hollywoodstar #filmstar #1930sfashion #1930smoviestars #oldhollywood #vintageclothing #stylish https://www.instagram.com/p/CZ90N2epwRy/?utm_medium=tumblr
