That the film is well-meaning does not make it any good. It's simply dreadful. Chaplin is awful as Hitler.
I cannot understand why all the prints shown in this homage to Keaton are so washed out as to make the viewer blind. There are fine prints of many of his works, certainly I've seen excellent copies of The General, why not use them. Even modern titles like bits of Sunset Boulevard are show washed out. What gives?
Auntie Mame finally comes to a close after the authors run out of glue to paste still another plot to it. Rosaline Russell is fine in all of its many segments, but all the segments together do not make a whole. In addition all the actors, whatever their age, are very stiff playing Mame's nephew, Patrick. For a comedy, there are very few laughs. What a waste of an otherwise excellent cast.
