The greatest "drag" comedy since SOME LIKE IT HOT has become one of the most phenomenal successes in film history. LA CAGE AUX FOLLES is a transvestite nightclub run by a pair of aging homosexuals, one of whom has a son. The son is eager to get married, but his fiancée’s father is the chief of the Department of Morals and is not likely to approve of his new in-laws.
