The Birdcage -- Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane and Dianne Wiest lead the laughs in this wild comedy that insists you don't have to be a woman to be a mother.

La cage aux folles II -- Michel Serrault and Ugo Tognazzi return in this zany espionage caper that has the two targeted by murderous enemy agents in an unforgettable cross-country journey.

Two of Europe's most virile male stars, Michel Serrault and Ugo Tognazzi, portray two very flamboyant, aging gay gentlemen. Togazzi is the owner of a St. Tropez nightclub where the chief attraction is a drag act performed by his lover, Serrault. Tognazzi has a son from a former marriage who is engaged to the daughter of a politician who is a very active vigilant member of the Union of Moral Order. The son has carefully hidden his father's true profession. But now the upright -and uptight- politician and his wife are coming for a social visit, and the future of Tognazzi's son's marriage is at stake. Tognazzi and Serrault desperately try to "butch up" their home and manners for the ensuing visit. The hilarious complications of the evening are (not quite) beyond belief...

Robin Williams, Gene Hackman, Nathan Lane and Dianne Wiest lead the laughs in this wild comedy that insists you don't have to be a woman to be a mother.

In this contemporary American adaptation of the 1978 outrageous French farce La Cage Aux Folles, the story centers on the life of a middle-aged, flamboyant gay couple...Armand and Albert...in the eclectic community of South Beach, Florida, who have raised a straight son. The son announces his engagement to the daughter of a right-wing U.S. senator, and wants to bring his fiancee and her ultraconservative parents home to meet his family for the first time. What choice is there but to accept his decision with love! So Armand and Albert must pretend to be very straight by attempting to play out the roles of your typical heterosexual "husband" and "wife"! Easier said than done...

The good news is they'll inherit a fortune if they marry. The bad news is they have 18 months to have a baby! The world's favorite odd couple-shrill, sentimental drag queen Albin (Michel Serrault) and his long-suffering mate Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) - are back in this outrageous French farce. In their latest romp, the boys' financially-troubled St. Tropez transvestite cabaret, La Cage, can be saved only if Albin rises to the conditions of a relative's bequest. The will stipulates he must marry and father a son - or else the vast estate will pass to his virile, greedy young cousin. There's inspired lunacy as flamboyant Albin contemplates a fate worse than death - will he be condemned to abandon his ladylike ways once and for all?

In this third and final chapter of the popular "La Cage Aux Folles" series, consummate drag queen Albin finds that he is in line to inherit a vast fortune from a distant relative. There's only one catch: he must marry and produce an heir within one year! Naturally, this comes as quite a shock to Albin and, especially, to his long-time lover, Renato.

The two gentlemen from La Cage Aux Folles are back! 'Zaza' (Michel Serrault) thinks that he is no longer attractive to Renato (Ugo Tognazzi), and to make him jealous sets out to the local caf‚ in magnificent 'drag'--where 'she' is promptly picked up by a spy who is fleeing from enemy agents. Soon 'Zaza' is in possession of precious microfilm. To catch the bad guys, the French authorities decide to use 'Zaza' and Renato as bait, and the couple are off to Italy--as man and wife. Renato's mother (Paola Borboni) lives in Italy and doesn't 'know.' (Mother will not be pleased by the appearance of her son's bride!) Having to contend with the evil goings-on, 'Zaza' and Renato will, in their own riotous way, face down the villains. Music by Ennio Morricone. Edouard Molinaro directed.
