I really liked the first portion of the movie when the little boy went to go live with his flamboyant and fun Auntie Mame. Watching all the interaction between her and the boy was really sweet and fun. And, when other "do gooders" tried to make her be a more conventional parent, this provided some wonderful moments as well. And so, up until towards the end, I really loved this film. And then, out of nowhere, the kid suddenly grows up in the space of only a few minutes and the film ends?! It was as if someone in charge said "hey--they public doesn't need a three hour film--just stop here and no one will be the wiser". And so, the story just seems to abruptly stop and left me very unsatisfied. It's too bad, as Rosalind Russell was in top form as the amazingly odd but lovable Auntie Mame.
