Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kinky Boots, a 2005 British comedy-drama film named for the song of the same name by the actors from the old 1960s show The Avengers, is the story of Charlie Price (Joel Edgerton), who inherits his father's shoe factory upon his death.Unfortunately, industry is putting the old-fashioned factory under and his dad's old friends, whom Charlie has known since childhood, out of work. Charlie doesn't really want to keep the factory nor does he exactly feel right letting the factory fail, but old wingtips aren't going to cut it.Enter Lola (Chiwetel Ejiofor), a 6-foot-5, black Drag Queen, who—after rescuing Charlie from the mugger from whom Charlie attempted to rescue her—wants Charlie to make footwear for Drag Queens.The only way for the factory to have a shot at this niche market is to make a splash at the Milan Shoe Expo. Charlie has to persuade the conservative people of his factory to get on board with this rather offbeat plan and raise enough money to get them to Milan, all while struggling with running the factory, dealing with his marriage, and trying to cope with the cognitive dissonance working with Lola is causing him.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })A musical Screen-to-Stage Adaptation, with a book by Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by Cyndi Lauper, opened on Broadway in 2013 and went on to win the Tony Award for Best Musical. | |

Accidental Public Confession: Lauren has been falling in love with Charlie but makes nice with his fiancée anyway, runs into said fiancée and mentions with sincere appreciation that he put their house up for mortgage in order to save the factory. Nicola didn't know and is - quite reasonably - less than pleased that he kept it from her. Lauren is mortified; she had no idea Charlie hadn't discussed it with Nicola first. There's also the fight that ensues after that scene. Nicola asks Charlie for a reason he mortgaged the house. He thinks the entire factory is empty, but one employee remains, who overhears Charlie tell Nicola in a tearful shout that he's known these people since childhood, that laying off the first 15 of them were the worst 15 times of his life, and that he doesn't actually enjoy making people redundant...and that if she can't see why he risked so much to save the factory, then she will never get him. Shortly thereafter, every employee is back on the job working at top speed and top skill. | |
