Description

Two of Europe's most virile male stars, Michel Serrault and Ugo Tognazzi, portray two very flamboyant, aging gay gentlemen. Togazzi is the owner of a St. Tropez nightclub where the chief attraction is a drag act performed by his lover, Serrault. Tognazzi has a son from a former marriage who is engaged to the daughter of a politician who is a very active vigilant member of the Union of Moral Order. The son has carefully hidden his father's true profession. But now the upright -and uptight- politician and his wife are coming for a social visit, and the future of Tognazzi's son's marriage is at stake. Tognazzi and Serrault desperately try to "butch up" their home and manners for the ensuing visit. The hilarious complications of the evening are (not quite) beyond belief...

    Update December 2020: Glad to say that iTunes have finally released the original in French with English subtitles, but option of having English audio in settings. Much better. Now happy to give 5 stars. Thank you. Original Review 11 years ago: Do not buy this film unless you want to buy a French film dubbed in English! It is very disappointing since the spoken words aren't in sync with the actors' moving lips. If I had known that it wasn't the original then I would not have purchased it. Come on iTunes, offer us the original in French with English subtitles, as the director intended. I would have liked to rate this film 5 stars if it had been the original French version, since it is a great film.

    Why do some production companies assume we want out our foreign language films dubbed into American English for domestic consumption? This is a hilariously funny film; a strong four stars. made one star by crass dubbing. Make it available in French, please, with subtitles!
  • Awful dubbing!

    Don't spoil your day with this. Why did someone trash a great film? The subtitles worked well. Bring them back!

    Typical itunes - pathetic to only offer a dubbed version - who on earth wants English voices in this French film? Really angry that ITunes doesn't clearly mark the fact that this is a dubbed version only.

    Hi. I very nearly downloaded "La Cage aux Folles" and noticed just in time that it's dubbed. Yuk. Dubbed movies should have a big DUBBED flag on them to make them easy to avoid! I'm disappointed in you guys. Why can't you list the original French version with subtitles? best Ian

    Same annoyance as others, not advertised as dubbed. This is one film that has to be seen on French, whether you speak it or not. Cage aux Folles 2 is subtitled and not dubbed. Disappointing. Does anyone read this feedback at the film co?
  • DUBBED FILMS ARE FOR IDIOTS

    I deleted this before it had even finished downloading. I do not see the point in watching a film other than to enjoy the quality of the acting and dubbing films erase this completely. If iTunes are going to have badly dubbed films they should have the decency to mark it on the cover or says so in the description so that the can be avoided.
  • Its dubbed!!

    Unfortunately this film is not in its original language and has dubbed english voices ... if i had known that i wasnt going to be watching the film in French with English subtitles i would have never purchased the film. There is an American remake of the film already, The Birdcage, and if i wanted to see the film in English i would have just purchased that! This is the second time i have purchased a film from itunes under the impression that i will be seeing a foreign film with subtitles and have recieved a poorly dubbed film! Make sure you watch the preview before purchasing, because there is no record of it being dubbed in the information given!!
  • BEWARE POOR QUALITY

    This is the second poor experience buying from Itunes. First a movie I rented had very poor visual quality. Now a film is not advertised properly - all that is needed in the write up is a label that says - DUBBED POORLY IN ENGLISH. DO NOT BUY DO NOT BUY DO NOT BUY ................ unless you want to watch a french film in English and do not care about authenticity.
