   Permalink. 8/10. Robin Williams and Nathan Lane as a gay couple. blanche-2 3 June 2006. Though nothing can beat "La Cage aux Folles," the film on which this American version is based, I still found "The Birdcage" delightful fun and hilarious at times, thanks to the comic geniuses of Robin Williams and Nathan Lane.

   Mar 8, 1996 · “The Birdcage” is the first time Mike Nichols and Elaine May, who helped define improvisational comedy in the 1950s, have worked together on a movie.

   Is 'The Birdcage' a good movie?

   • The French film version, 'La Cage aux Folles,' is praised for the serious performances of Ugo Tognazzi and Michel Serrault, allowing the humor and poignancy to come from the situation and Armand's (Albin/Zaza) outrageousness.
