ANOTHER SEQUEL TO the La Cage Aux Folles trilogy has just hit the silver screen, and the two principal characters, Renato/Zaza (Ugo Tognazzi), the transvestite star of the Cage aux Folles cabaret, and Albin (Michel Serrault), the manager of the St. Tropez nightclub, are still being played by the original actors.

...Madden, an unsuccessful writer approaching 40, grieves over the departure of Patty Lareine, the wealthy wife whom he loves and hates to distraction. It is November, and the tip of Cape Cod retains nothing of its summer weekend splendors: "Provincetown was as colorful then as St.-Tropez, and as dirty by Sunday evening as Coney Island."
