Auntie Mame: Another Childhood Memory

In addition to South Pacific, I might mention another movie that had a similar effect on my growing up unknowingly gay youth.

The movie is Auntie Mame. Ask any Gay man (and many others for that matter) and they will name Auntie Mame as a pivotal point in their young life. Every one wants an aunt like Mame who will show them the way of the life, shower them with presents, share exotic experiences, and give them unconditional love.

A fun memory of seeing this movie is that I saw it with my cousin Leslie and ended up sneaking back to see it three more times. I had to sneak because if my parents found out that I was "wasting" my money on seeing a movie more than once, I would have been grounded!
