You know what would just be wonderful right about now? A delightful and beloved French farce. Edouard Molinaro’s classic tale of two gay nightclub owners’ attempt to put on a show of conservative domesticity in order to trick a right-wing politician into allowing their son to marry his daughter isn’t exactly timeless - in that it is SO set in 1978 - but it’s charm and hilarious send-up of straight gender performance make it one for the ages.
If you’d like to watch ahead for next week’s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Howard Hawks’ Only Angels Have Wings (1939).
