Glen or Glenda? 1

I saw this at a friend's house one time. He rented it from someplace.  It is really bad.  Ed Wood is the maker of this flick.  The whole thing revolves around Wood, who also stars here, and who is a transvestite who can't decide if he wants to be Glen or Glenda.

Bela Lugosi playes some part here, but I could never figure that out.

This is basically incomprehensible trash.

If you absolutely must sit through an Ed Wood movie, this is probably the least excrutiating, most entertaining of them all (which is, of course, not really saying much). An incomprehensible blending of transvestism, surreal S and M imagery, silly soap opera love story, and Bela Lugosi spouting manic gibberish throughout as if someone substituted LSD for his usual dose of morphine (I don't mean disrespect to Bela; I grew up loving the guy but, let's face it, he was in some God-awful crap throughout his career, whether because of drug problems or language difficulties or his inflexibilities as an actor...who knows?). You actually get to see Wood, who was born in Poughkeepsie, NY, in one of the leading roles as a tormented transvestite with a fondness for angora sweaters and dumb blondes. He's a marginally better actor than some of the others who made up his cinematic retinue (Criswell, Tor Johnson, Vampira, etc.), which is akin to saying Son of Sam was a marginally more merciful murderer than Charlie Manson. Is it a so-bad-it's-good movie? Not really. With all due respect to the departed, Ed Wood made horrible movies. This is one of his better movies, but it's still a horrible movie. But, if you have a six pack (or 2) of beer and nothing else to watch, it's not without its own unique entertainment value...

Another campy piece of dreck that is so unspeakably bad that it's actually fun to watch.
