I am writing to request the use of a brief clip from the MGM/UA film LA CAGE AUX FOLLES in connectioon with my lecture presentation based on my book THE CELLULOID CLOSET. Published by Harper & Row, THE CELLULOID CLOSET is a critically acclaimed and highly respected scholarly treatment of the various ways in which gay people have been portrayed onscreen from silent movies to the present.
