La Cage Aux Folles

Joining the opening from director Edouard Molinari, Renato Baldi (Ugo Tognazzi), owner of a St. Tropez drag club fetches the neighbor doctor (Guido Cerniglia) to persuade his star, also his live-in lover, Albin “Zaza” Napoli (Michel Serrault) to take the stage, in the original La Cage Aux Folles, 1979.

We have reason to suspect that Laurent (Remi Laurent), perhaps secretly visiting Renato (Ugo Tognazzi), owner of a St. Tropez drag club, might be a lover, but we learn otherwise, early in the original international hit La Cage Aux Folles, 1979, from the play by Jean Poiret.

His flamboyant apartment redone in Christian austerity, drag club owner Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) receives the conservative parents (Michel Galabru, Carmen Scarpitta) of the new fianceè of his son (Remi Laurent), not expecting his partner (Michel Serrault) to impersonate his wife, in La Cage Aux Folles, 1979.

Local drag club star Albin (Michel Serrault) marketing in St. Tropez, doesn’t yet know that the son (Remi Laurent) of his partner and employer Renato (Ugo Tognazzi) has come home with news of his engagement, Benny Luke as Jacob, the troublesome maid, in La Cage Aux Folles, 1979.
