   Was 'the Birdcage' a good movie?

   • But for the most part "The Birdcage" was well-received for its portrayals for a loving gay family. The Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) said, "We have seen so many films with very one-dimensional stereotypical characters. Their purpose has been to play the 'straight man' to rounds of jokes.

   Will there be a 'birdcage' remake?

   • Now comes the remake of the most seductive target, the comedy "La Cage aux Folles" (1978), which is about a gay man whose son wants him to play it straight for a few days. All of this will be familiar if you've seen the original, or the two sequels, or the Broadway version. "The Birdcage" isn't about plot, anyway.

   • The time was right. America was just about ready for this. At the time Ellen DeGeneres had not yet come out. Two recent movies featuring drag queens — "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" and "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything!
   • "The Birdcage" was the 7th incarnation of the French farce "La Cage aux Folles" "La Cage aux Folles" ("The Cage of Madwomen") is a 1973 French play by Jean Poiret and Francis Veber with more or less the same plot as above, just substitute Saint-Tropez for South Beach.
   • It was the first Elaine May/Mike Nichols movie collaboration. Younger audiences may not grasp the significance, but Elaine May and Mike Nichols were a massively influential comedy duo in the 50s and 60s who redefined both improv and standup comedy with multiple appearances on stage and TV before launching a year-long, sold-out Broadway show together.
   • Most of the improvising happened in rehearsal. It can be difficult to corral brilliant comic improvisors such as Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, but Nichols insisted on weeks of rehearsal — not a common thing for movies — and let them improvise all they wanted then.
