Victoria Grant (Julie Andrews) is a struggling soprano who, with help from a fellow performer (Robert Preston), finally finds success by posing as a male female impersonator. But what will happen when a nightclub owner (James Garner) finds himself attracted to Victoria's cross-dressing male persona and begins to suspect "Victor" is really a woman? This gender-bending musical comedy received seven Oscar nominations and won for Best Score.
Victor Victoria Comedy musical film (1982) about singer Victoria who is pretending to be the man-transvestite. Viewing together with parents is recommended to children.
Action occurs in Paris 1930th years when half of the American-French bohemia has nonconventional sexual orientation. Victoria, the singer-soprano, can't find job. The case reduces it with the elderly chansonnier-homosexual by name of Toddy. It is come to mind by brilliant idea: Victoria becomes Victor, the Polish count Grazinski, the young homosexual-transvestite who is appearing on stage with female repertoire.

"Victor" submits the Parisian scene. The visiting gangster from Chicago, King Marchand, Has seen "him/her" on scene, puts eye on the singer. When it appears, what is it "singer", its conservative American nature revolts against this idea. He doesn't believe that Victor the man and tries to expose "it". Victoria also takes a great interest in it.

Their novel develops. At this time there come colleagues King Marchand from Chicago which, having learnt that it "became blue", decide to deduce it from business. Comes to an end very well.
