About The Ostrich Has Two Eggs
A father discovers one day that one of his sons is a homosexual and the other, is the "gigolo" of a Japanese countess. He is first horrified, but finally accepts the situation because it brings him economical advantages.
Directed by Denys de La Patellière, The Ostrich Has Two Eggs leans on a strong ensemble — Pierre Fresnay, Simone Renant, Georges Poujouly — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1957.
