Synopsis
Out-of-work singer Victoria Grant meets a just-fired, flamboyant gay man in a club in 1920s Paris. He convinces her to pretend to be a man who is a female impersonator in order to get a job. The act is a hit in a local nightclub, but things get complicated when a gangster and nightclub owner from Chicago, King Marchan, falls in love with "him." Filmed live on Broadway, 1995.

Cinematic Threads
In his later career, Edwards had a success with Victor/Victoria (1982), which he told me was inspired by a 1933 German musical comedy, Viktor und Viktoria, directed by Reinhold Schünzel.
