The 'Birdcage Club': The Carlyle, Miami Beach

THE BIRDCAGE filming locations



CREDITS
THE BIRDCAGE, 1996
dir: Mike Nichols

Robin Williams
Nathan Lane
Gene Hackman
Dianne Wiest
This Hollywood remake of the seventies French farce La Cage Aux Folles uses the plot as a blunt instrument to clobber the hypocritical mores of the supposed Moral Majority.

Robin Williams is incredibly restrained as the butch half of a gay partnership while Nathan Lane whoops and squeals as the undisguisable queen.

Worth seeing alone for the sight of Gene Hackman in drag. The locale is transposed from the South of France to the wonderful Art Deco district of South Miami Beach.

The ëBirdcage Clubí is actually the splendid Carlyle Hotel, 1250 Ocean Drive at 13th Street (tel: 305.532.5315).
