Thanks to everyone for their responses. Let me make clear that I do “get it”, and it’s obvious that the fiancee in Trading Places is supposed to be the exact same kind of character. But it’s just one of those things. It cracks me up, but it doesn’t seem like it should be as funny as all that.
It’s kind of like when I pull open a door at the exact moment someone is pushing from the other side. I actually have a fleeting feeling of being very annoyed when that happens, and I have no idea why.
pugluvr Just so you don’t think you’re going crazy, I thought the same thing, too. The last time I saw “Mame:” Hey Pegeen looks a lot like Janeway – only with appeal! And a personality.
The best is when she finds out Patrick is engaged to Gloria and not Pegeen and just says “pity”
Only problem with the Rosalind Russell version is that I like the music to Mame.
I might be alone there. But “Bosom Buddies” cracks me up, “Need a little Christmas” is one of my favorite Christmas songs, I like “Mame,” and I love, love, love (and cry through) “If He Walked into My Life Today” which is a simply perfectly beautiful song.
