You know what would just be wonderful right about now? \\xa0A delightful and beloved French farce. \\xa0Edouard Molinaro\\u2019s classic tale of two gay nightclub owners\\u2019 attempt to put on a show of conservative domesticity in order to trick a right-wing politician into allowing their son to marry his daughter isn\\u2019t exactly timeless - in that it is SO set in 1978 - but it\\u2019s charm and hilarious send-up of straight gender performance make it one for the ages.

If you\\u2019d like to watch ahead for next week\\u2019s film, we will be discussing and reviewing Howard Hawks\\u2019\\xa0Only Angels Have Wings\\xa0(1939).
