The bosses of the big corporation force innocent Julian to go there and plant a bomb. But Julian becomes friendly with the people at the cafe - a juggler, a handsome waiter Nina the pretty waitress, a deaf mute who loves dancing and The Countess Aurelia - known as The Madwoman Of Chaillot. Julian does not plant the bomb and tries to kill himself. The deaf mute rescues him and brings him unconscious into the cafe. When he comes to he thinks Nina is an angel. He is determined to try and kill himself again as he is fearful of the big corporation. The Countess prevents him. Then someone arrives from the Corporation and tries to take Julian but the Countess throws him out. Julian goes to hide in the flat of the Countess - whilst she goes to consult the Sewerman. Then together with the Madwoman of Montmartre and the Madwoman of The Flea Market she hatches a plan to rid the world of evil people. | |||||

Besides being the source for one of America's most popular musicals, AUNTIE MAME set a standard for Broadway comedy that's been sought after ever since. "Auntie Mame was a handsome, sparkling, scatterbrained and warm-hearted lady who brightened the American landscape from 1928 to the immediate past by her whimsical gaiety, her slightly madcap adventures and her devotion to her young nephew, who grew up to be Patrick Dennis. Through fortunes that rose and fell and a pleasant but brief marriage to a likable Southerner, who had the bad luck to tumble down from the Matterhorn, Auntie Mame's chief concern was that nephew, whom she raised&[the play's] central figure is a woman of spirit, innate kindness and undefeatable courage&"-NY Post. | |||||
