NOW THIS! THIS IS A LEGEND!

@Lucilleballlover Because Angie was the original Mame, and also can actually sing. Lucille Ball was more film comedienne than stage actress.

Does any  one know how I can get a quality audio recording of this clip?

@alphaecho100 Hardly.

[Lucilleballlover]

Why couldn't they use Lucy?

[alphaecho100]

This was 1975? But even then she looked about 70 years old!

@artsavant Quite frankly, I do think that the casting was not the best. On that note, surprisingly, I do agree. And I do wonder the producers wisdom in thinking that Lansbury (at the time) was not famous enough to reprise the role. That's what I find unusual. So, yes, on this note, I agree that the movie's casting was uninspired.

[ret2rick]

@artsavant Yes, but I am not the one making serious critical rebukes about a person who has actually garnered success from Her professional chops. That is what I have contention about. Sure you can say that her comedic talents were not to your liking, but she was and is still one of the most revered comediennes in the industry. Just get over yourself. Splitting hairs, critical acumen, and cleverness aside, at least she's still on the air after over 60 years. Is that what bothers you, hmm?

@ret2rick

Unless I've overlooked your syndicated show and professional chops, we are equally members of the audience making comment.

But maybe I overly valued critical acumen here if you find me merely splitting hairs over reasons for disparaging Ball's power play; cf, tinyurlCOM /3njzo6z or /3gvu2ys

Thus I wonder if your clever ret2rick or jest on my surname mean that those "decades of syndication" you cite facetiously include the sole current listing at 5 AM on the Hallmark channel
