The homosexual proprietor of a homosexual nightclub, and long-time lover of his star drag queen, learns that the son he sired twenty years earlier in a mad moment of heterosexual experimentation is engaged to be married. Complications, as you would guess, ensue. This is French sex farce of a type that could reasonably expect a life everlasting on the American summer-stock circuit, and it is equipped by Edouard Molinaro with a fuzzy, soft, powder-puffed image that puts in grave doubt the director's entire attitude toward his subject. The homosexual angle does not exoticize the standard plot machinations as much as it might be expected to, but it does afford Ugo Tognazzi and Michel Serrault a pair of roles they can truly sink their fingernails into. Their best scene together revolves around one limp-wristed type trying to teach another how to butter a piece of Melba toast "like a man." (1978) — Duncan Shepherd
