Directed by Claude Miller: A sports director and a crossdressing music teacher struggle to come to terms with their sexual identities while working at a summer camp for boys. Reader Reviews "The Best Way To Walk", in French and directed by Claude Miller, stars Patric Dewaere as Marc and Patrick Bouchitey as Phillippe. These two men are counselors for a summer boys' camp somewhere in France. Marc coaches the boys in sports; Phillippe is a drama teacher. After catching Phillippe in women's clothes and makeup one evening, Marc proceeds to bully the gentler Phillippe at every turn. It soon becomes obvious that the bully is compensating for his own awakening sexual feelings that he would like to thwart. Much of the conflict in this quite successful movie has to do with the relationship or lack thereof between these two individuals. Both men are extremely handsome, as is Christine Pascal who plays Phillippe's girlfriend. Phillippe in men's clothes looks for all the world like Audrey Hepburn. In the scene that brings the film to a boil, a costume party held at the end of the summer, Phillppee is dressed as a beautiful woman and looks even more like Hepburn. His dance with Marc, who is dressed as a matador in the obligatory skin-tight trousers, scorches the screen. The movie is way ahead of its time-- it was released in the U. S. in 1976-- with its theme of same-sex attraction and is another example of what many French directors do so well. A great little find.
