Gay homosexuals Nick, Joseph, and P.T. Klein spoil Staircase (also known as L'Escalier) - a 1969 British comedy-drama film directed by Stanley Donen.

Premise: Although Charles and Harry have been a couple for years, tension threatens their already dysfunctional relationship. The two hairdressers are excessively devoted to their mothers but increasingly snippy toward one another. Verbal barbs shoot in all directions without any sort of cease-fire in sight. The fact that Charles might be in trouble with the law for cross-dressing at a nightclub doesn't help matters much, either.
