Two gay men living in St. Tropez have their lives turned upside down when the son of one of the men announces he is getting married. They try conceal their lifestyle and their ownership of the drag club downstairs when the fiancée and her parents come for dinner.
So this is apparently a French film (the language is French), with an almost all-Italian crew. So is it an Italian film? Well, whatever, it definitely has a European sensibility to it that is absent in the American remake.
This movie really was ahead of its time. The remake was ahead by a little bit, but seemed perfectly appropriate in its own way. Especially by casting Robin Williams, which allowed it to be more mainstream. Here we have almost the exact same story... but in 1978. Maybe Europe is more advanced, but this might have ruffled a few feathers.
