...flamboyant lifestyle? There was a movie I watched when I was little, I want to say it came out around in the 80s, I remember specific details from the movie but not it's name. Here are the detail I remember

Father dies
Leaves his son in the care of his sister, but she’s eccentric, so he's left in the care of a stern man
This sister…the aunt...
Works at a shoe store, then she meets an American named Bo
Bo takes her fox hunting, and she can only ride side saddle
Bo dies in a climbing accident
Once her nephew is grown and finds a fiancee she finds parents are gold diggers
The gold digging parents use clam juice in champagne?
The aunt uses, snake venom? or some part of the snake in her own champagne and lights it on fire?
The last scene she is walking up the her spiral stairs with her nephew's son, on whom she has just put a turban
Nephew ends up marrying his aunt's secretary
 
Sounds like "Mame"
