Mame: Setting


Figure 1.--"Mame" is set primarily in New York. The film spans the Roaring 20s, the Great Depression, World War II, and the post-War period. Of course the Roaring 20s offers the greatest opportunities for Mame's mad-cap adventures. Perhaps the signature piece for the Roaring 20s was the visit to the speakeasy. Here we see Patrick in a short pants tuxedo.
