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
