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.

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." Confused and lonely, Madden stalks the deserted streets and dunes by day and repairs in the evening to a local restaurant, where he sits in the bar and drinks too much. He is conscious of his new status as an unaccompanied stag and approves...
