“The Birdcage” (released on March 8th, 1996) – Armand (Robin Williams) tries to get through rehearsal with Albert (Nathan Lane)

>When I asked him about the “Fosse Fosse Fosse” bit for Robin Williams, choreographer Vincent Paterson burst into laughter.

>“That was not part of the script,” he said. “I knew Robin. I had choreographed for Robin, Whoopie Goldberg and Billy Crystal for Comedy Relief four or five years in a row. I had directed him in a Turner documentary on Dr. Suess.

>“So during shooting, Robin pulled me aside and he said, ‘I’m so tired of playing the straight man. Everyone is getting laughs. It’s driving me crazy.’

>“I said, ‘Give me till the next break.’

>“So on the next break we went behind the set wall and I said, ‘What about: *The History of Dance in Thirty Seconds?’*

>“We were behind the walls of the set. I gave him a little scenario. He did it. He said, ‘I can’t make it perfect.’ I said, ‘DON’T make it perfect!’ “So we came back to shoot the scene. Cameras were rolling. He did it and everyone was laughing and laughing. But it wasn’t in the movie.

>“Mike said, ‘That was really wonderful. But let’s move on.’ “Robin fell to his knees and begged, ‘please please please…’

>“Nichols said, ‘Alright, we’ll shoot it again, but no promises.’

>“We shot it two or three times. We never thought it would become what it has. It’s iconic.

A remake of the french famous movie “La cage aux folles” 1978

“Sweetie, you’re wasting your gum.”

Hank Azaria really added to this movie.

One of my favourite films
