The old guys-in-drag gag was revived in this 1980 sex
farce. Henry and Kip were two young studs working
at a New York City advertising agency, Henry as a
junior copywriter (and aspiring novelist) and Kip as
a junior illustrator (and aspiring painter). They were
also roommates, but one day they found a wrecking
ball in the bedroom--seems the building was being
demolished. Office receptionist Amy, who was smitten
with Henry, came up with the bright idea that they
move into her building, which just happened to be an
all-girl residence--the Susan B. Anthony Hotel. Henry
and Kip liked the low rent and the idea of being
surrounded by beautiful women in various stages of
undress, so in they went, gussied up as Hildegarde
and Buffy. Amy was the only one who knew their true
identities, even though Henry and Kip kept showing up
at the hotel as themselves (passed off as Hildegarde's
and Buffy's brothers). Sonny and Isabelle were two
sexpots at the hotel and Lilly Sinclair its
fearsome manager. Ruth Dunbar was the
idea-appropriating boss at the office.
Eventually the boys revealed their ruse to the girls
at the hotel, but nobody else seemed to catch on.
They also went into the commercial production business
with Amy, taking over the failing firm owned by Henry's
Uncle Mort. Sonny pursued her career as a nurse, while
being pursued by Kip, and Isabelle took over as manager
of the hotel, while waiting for her big break as an actress.
