U.S., 1953
Directed by Ed Wood
Starring Ed Wood, Bela Lugosi, Dolores Fuller
Approx. 65 min. DCP.


Wood’s first feature is an intensely personal docudrama of a tormented cross-dresser (Wood), his fiancé (played by real life wife Dolores) and his angora sweaters. With Bela Lugosi spouting his hilarious non-sequiturs.

Reviews

“A rich amalgam of film noir, the manipulative authority of the medical profession, and the power of sexuality.”
