Ray Coshow reviewed Tía Mame by Jerome Lawrence (Colección Teatro -- no. 255)
Review of 'Tía Mame' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
I am familiar with every version of this delightful story, and this one is by far my favorite. Lawrence and Lee took Patrick Dennis’s wild sprawling novel about his eccentric aunt and made it tighter, sharper, and funnier. The movie of this play, as wonderful as it is, is somewhat hobbled by Hollywood Puritanism but it’s a close second. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve taken this book off my shelf and reread it.
