{"product_id":"the-birdcage-1","title":"The Birdcage","description":"Product Description Director Mike Nichols remake of La Cage Aux Folles, with Robin Williams as a subdued South Beach night club owner who's forced to ask his flamboyant, drag-queen lover to hide away while his son brings his future in-laws; an ultra-conservative couple for dinner. Hilarious and fresh, also starring Dianne Wiest, Gene Hackman, Hank Azaria and Christine Baranski. Running time: 119 minutes. Amazon.com The great improvisational comedy team of Mike Nichols and Elaine May reunited to (respectively) direct and write this update of the French comedy La Cage Aux Folles . Robin Williams stars as a gay Miami nightclub owner who is forced to play it straight and ask his drag-queen partner (Nathan Lane) to hide out when Williams's son invites his prospective--and highly conservative--in-laws and fiancée to a meet-and-greet dinner party. Gene Hackman and Dianne Wiest play the straight-laced senator and his wife, and Calista Flockhart (from television's Ally McBeal ) plays their daughter in a culture-clash with outrageous consequences. May's witty screenplay incorporates some pointed observations about the political landscape of the 1990s and takes a sensitive approach to the comedy's underlying drama. Topping off the action is Hank Azaria in a scene-stealing role as Williams's and Lane's flamboyant housekeeper, \"Agador Spartacus.\" --Jeff Shannon","brand":"Kicks Mix Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50527161352355,"sku":"027616603395-prime-video","price":2.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0722\/6831\/6835\/files\/81MvWIQf3EL.jpg?v=1790279209","url":"https:\/\/kicksmixbooks.store\/products\/the-birdcage-1","provider":"Kicks Mix Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
