Norman... Is That You? is an American 1976 film starring Redd Foxx and Pearl Bailey and based on the play Norman, Is That You?. The film version changes the locale from New York City to Los Angeles and substitutes an African American family for a Jewish family in the original play.
Ben Chambers arrives in Los Angeles to seek consolation from his son, Norman. Ben is upset and confused after his wife abandons the family dry-cleaning business in Tucson and runs away to Mexico with her brother-in-law. Ben Chambers discovers his son is gay after he finds Norman's lover, Garson, in the bedroom. While dealing with the abandonment of his wife, Ben tries to understand his son's orientation. After an altercation with Norman, due to Ben hiring a prostitute for Norman, Ben forms a bond with Garson.
