DOUGLASSE
ET REGINE
by Debora Hill
TONE:
A madcap comedy set in Paris during the early 1930's. Similar
in style and tone to VICTOR/VICTORIA and 60's comedies like
WHAT'S NEW PUSSYCAT? and many of Woody Allen's earlier works.
Filming should show the high life, the joys and lows, resembling
movies like SCANDAL and DOROTHY PARKER AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE.
SET UP:
A world-renowned fashion model goes to Paris to visit her aunt,
owner of a nightclub called Gisella's, and to coordinate the
House of Chanel fall fashion show. There she meets female impersonator
Reginald Cleveland, and falls in love with him. Unknown to her,
he is also in love with her but pretends to be homosexual because
he is the darling of the Paris gay scene.
STORY LINE:
Danielle Hollis cuts her hair and pretends to be her own brother
Douglas in order to win the love of Reginald Cleveland. He is
manipulated into becoming involved with Douglas even though
he is in love with Danielle, in order to keep his position as
a stage star. When they discover the reality of their affair
and are married, it sets off a whole chain reaction of comic
events involving the nightclub and Reggie's younger brother
Noel.
