Victor/Victoria (1982)

In the sparkling heart of 1934 Paris, the stage is set for a most unusual tale of gender deception and star-crossed love. The story revolves around the life of Victoria Grant (Dame Julie Andrews), a talented British soprano who, despite her melodious charm, struggles to secure her place in the city's vibrant nightlife. Her life takes an unexpected turn when she meets the flamboyant cabaret performer, Carole "Toddy" Todd (Robert Preston), who, too, is grappling with the harsh realities of the entertainment industry. In the face of adversity, Toddy devises an audacious plan. With him acting as her manager, he reinvents Victoria as a male female impersonator, Count Victor Grazinski, a character inspired by Toddy's ex-lover who was disowned by his family for his sexual orientation. This novel act, a man impersonating a woman, captures the imagination of Paris, catapulting Victoria, or rather Count Grazinski, into the limelight. Among the captivated audience is King Marchand (James Garner), a Chicago nightclub owner and businessman, who becomes unexpectedly smitten with the enigmatic performer. Despite the startling revelation of the Count's true identity, King cannot reconcile his growing feelings for Victoria, causing a ripple of discontent among his associates. As Victoria basks in the freedom and success her male alter ego brings, she finds herself falling for King as well. Torn between her newfound fame and potential love, she faces a dilemma - should she reveal her true identity and risk losing everything, or continue the masquerade? Meanwhile, the threat of exposure and legal consequences loom over Victoria and Toddy, adding a layer of suspense to their already intricate performance. In this beguiling story of love, deception, and identity, Victor/Victoria paints the town red, leaving audiences guessing until the final curtain call.
