This is Lou Myers’s famous poster for the American release of the film La Cage Aux Folles in 1979, a French-Italian coproduction that had opened in those countries the previous year. (The text has simply been translated into English.) Myers’s illustration, showing two men in a single polka-dot dress, like his many images for advertisements and major American publications like the New York Times and the New Yorker, is both frivolous and cartoon-like but addresses one of the significant issues of the time. In this case, his slightly raw, humorous motif brilliantly represents La Cage Aux Folles, the story of a flamboyant middle-aged gay couple, the manager and star of a notorious drag club in St. Tropez, who must face the ultra-conservative parents of their son’s fiancé. This hugely popular film is at once a comic farce and an audacious and glamorous celebration of a homosexual couple, a groundbreaking position for a mainstream film of the late 1970s.
