If you loved Unternehmen Petticoat, try Victor/Victoria
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Both films are directed by Blake Edwards, and they both carry the playful mood tag, and they sit in Comedy / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Unternehmen Petticoat, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Victor/Victoria is
A man in a dress playing a woman pretending to be a man sings about life being perfectly clear, which feels like the film’s idea of modesty. A broke soprano takes a job as a drag act in 1930s Paris and lands in the arms of a skeptical gangster who’s not sure what to do with his suddenly wobbly libido. It’s less about gender and more about who’s buying dinner – and also there are musical numbers, so you get your money’s worth.
