Synopsis

Is she a he pretending to be a she or is he a she pretending to be a he? It's 1935 and Victoria Grant - played in engaging style by Julie Andrews - is stranded in Paris. Deserted by her runaway boss - the manager of the Bath Touring Light Opera Company - she is penniless and hungry. An audition at the Chez Lui a fashionable nightspot on the Left Bank, is a disaster and, with the prospect of no money coming in, eviction from her hotel looms large on Victoria's horizon. However a series of bizarre events lead Victoria to throw in her lot with Toddy - Robert Preston as a witty 50 year old homosexual who before being fired was 'packin' 'em in' as the cabaret at the Chez Lui. With Toddy as her mentor Victoria embarks upon a strange new career - a female impersonator with a difference; a woman pretending to be a man impersonating a woman. Count Victor Grazinski is born and becomes the toast of Parisienne nightlife. But for Victor/Victoria fame also brings complications, in the shape of King - the owner of New York's most successful nightclub - played by James Garner. He's captivated, confused and fascinated. He's also determined to discover Victor/Victoria's secret. How King sets about solving the mystery and what happens to Toddy and Victoria along the way makes a highly humorous and entertaining film.
