Review
The teenage son of a drag queen wants to marry the daughter of the Minister of Morals, and the parents are to meet. So the father has to act as the mother, but inevitably the real mother turns up. One of the most hilarious farces ever made using overt stereotyping with great sympathy. Remade by Hollywood (successfully!) as 'The Bird Cage'.
