Movie review – “Glen or Glenda” (1953) */****

For my mind a more entertaining picture than Plan Nine from Outer Space, a dazzlingly personal tale that pleas for understanding for men who dress in women’s clothing. This is ceaselessly fascinating, from the Bela Lugosi rants intercut with stock footage that doesn’t have anything to do with the film, the terrific moment where Dolores Fuller hands over her sweater to Ed Wood, Wood’s performance in the lead, elongated dream sequences, bits where scantily-clanted women twist and turn rather erotically on a couch, large slabs of narration. Far too much fun (and genuinely interesting) to be regarded as one of the worst films of all time – better to describe it as one of the most fascinating poorly made films of all time.
