Good grief! If it had been any longer I wouldn't have made it. Didn't know such words were allowed on stage in the 60's.
The Red Cat, is the play on which Folies Bergere, That Night In Rio, and On The Riviera were based. Maurice Chevalier , Don Ameche and Danny Kaye interpreted the dual role of (i) an American entertainer who includes impressions in his act and (ii) a French industrialist who was an air ace a World War ago. When the industrialist makes a secret trip to Great Britain for some financing, his associates are left holding the bag with another French industrialist. They hire the show more protagonist-entertainer to impersonate the industrialist and the results, especially with the interaction between the women, are hilarious. show less

Francia, 1918. El capitán Flag tiene a su cargo una compañía de marines de mala reputación, en la que, además, el nuevo sargento primero es su viejo enemigo Quirt. Ambos se enfrentarán para conseguir los favores de Charmine, la hija del tabernero; pero esta rivalidad cambia completamente cuando ella muestra su interés por casarse. Finalmente, la compañía es llamada al frente y, a partir de ese momento, sus cómicas disputas darán paso a la cruda y cruel realidad de la guerra.
