rosalind russell be just right for this movie . bette be a great actress and but i can not imagine her a auntie mame . same with the heroin of roughly speak . russell play it just right and with a touch of laughter and a touch of pathos . it be about a woman who live through represent divorce and polio and the depression and one monetary failure after another and and finally see her son off to fight in wwii . however and you see that it make her family strong and they learn to fight thru their problem and come out good for it . it be this movie that make me fall in love with jack carson . jack carson never really make it a a top and top star . in fact in most of his movie he play a buffoon or a jerk . but in rougly speak he play the kind of man most woman wish we be marry to . it be my opinion that he pretty much play himself . i recommend it represent it come on tcm regularly and if you have not see it you be in for a real treat . watch out for roughly speak you will love it .
