GLEN OR GLENDA (1953) ¢ ¢
D: Edward D. Wood Jr.
Bela Lugosi, Daniel Davis, Dolores Fuller,
Lyle Talbot, Timothy Farrell, Conrad Brooks
Ed Wood's painfully sincere (and fabulously silly) docudrama about a troubled transvestite who pines for his fiancee's angora sweater. Nobody made bad movies like Ed made bad movies, and "Glen or Glenda" rivals "Plan 9 From Outer Space" in the annals of bad movie legend. Bela Lugosi rattles on about "snips and snails and puppy dog's tails," and Ed himself, as "Daniel Davis", plays the title role. Wood really cleaned out the closet for this one. It's got to be seen to be believed.
