PRE MUSICAL
Today's movie was the UK film
The scion of a shoe company finds that his warehouse is filled with orders for a bankrupt customer. What to do?
In the course of an evening he saves a drag queen from being beat up and s/he takes him in to the club where she is the star.
In the process, he finds that the boots that drag queens wear are designed for women not men. Weight.
One thing leads to another and he enlists the drag queen to help him design a line of drag boots, shoes and other ornaments for the cross dressing audience.
Unlikely you would say. Me too. But it all fits right in as we watch this clever, fast moving story.
All kinds of problems ensue which are worked out just in the nick of time.
This film is the basis for the Broadway show and you can see how it all works beautifully to that end.
It does stand on its own however and is quite enjoyable.
I will give it a 3 out of Netflix5.
