Synopsis:
The plot revolves around eccentric Mame Dennis, whose madcap life is disrupted when her deceased brother's son Patrick is entrusted to her care. Rather than bow to convention, Mame introduces the boy to her free-wheeling lifestyle, instilling in him her favorite credo, "Life is a banquet, and most poor sons-of-bitches are starving to death." Also figuring in the story line are Mame's personal secretary Gooch and her "bosom buddy," Tallulah Bankhead-type actress Vera Charles. Mame eventually meets and marries Beauregard Jackson Pickett Burnside, a Southern aristocrat with a Georgia plantation called Peckerwood. Young Patrick is shipped off to boarding school, and Mame and Beau travel the world on an endless honeymoon that finally ends when Beau falls off an Alp. Mame returns home to discover Patrick has become a priggish snob engaged to an empty-headed debutante. She brings Patrick to his senses in time, and introduces him to the woman who eventually will become his wife. As the story ends, Mame is preparing to take Patrick's young son Michael to India.
