Forty years ago, on March 7, 1974, one of the last “big” movie musicals opened at New York’s Radio City Music Hall (I dragged my mom there so I could see it in one of the most magnificent theaters in the country): Mame. This is a picture one either loves or hates. I happen to adore it. And perhaps over 40 years, some of the legendary criticism about Lucy’s apperance can be forgiven? Or perhaps not. 
In any case, this is a picture of Lucy promoting the film before it opened on The Merv Griffin Show.
