This provides the hilarity behind La Cage aux Folles, a new tour de farce that truly wears its heart on its sleeve.

Fantasies come true for a nov­ice 23 year old in My Week with Marilyn, a sharp story from Alli­ance Films now delighting audi­ences at the Ridge Cinema in Vancouver and the International Village Cinemas. Romantic movies can take many twists and turns. A bit out of the box is the surprisingly re­freshing Alliance Films release My Weekend with Marilyn. Yes, the Marilyn we’re speaking of here is in fact Marilyn Monroe, the blonde goddess. Here, however, the film charts a troubled course for the young actress as she heads to England to make a movie before her big hit Some Like it Hot.
