     Norman… is that You?
1976  PG  COMEDY  1h 31min
CAST— Red Foxx, Pearl Bailey, Dennis Dugan, Michael Warren, Tamara Dobson, Vernee Watson, Jayne Meadows
MUSIC— Unknown  DIRECTOR— George Schlatter  BASED ON— Norman, is that You? (play), by Ron Clark, Sam Bobrick

     Moderately entertaining farce set against the backdrop of a sexual revolution. When father Red Foxx visits his Californian son he’s in for quite the shock; sonny boy has been living a homosexual lifestyle. Despite Foxx’s pleads and demands his son refuses to see his side of the argument, that of the normalcy of being heterosexual. Then Foxx meets his son’s flamboyant partner, played by a convincing Dennis Dugan, and he sees the impossibility of the situation. Problems abound within the picture, there’s innuendo aplenty and there’s that dude with the puppets. Creepy.
OUR RATING— * ½
