Glen or Glenda

(1953)

AKA I Led Two Lives, He or She?, I Changed My Sex. Shot in four days, inspired by Christine Jorgenson. It’s a bit sad to look at, because it is clear that it was an important statement to Ed Wood, the writer-director, and it is a hot mess. He was a transvestite, and wanted people to understand the feelings he had, but you will cringe to see the total irrelevancy of many of the scenes. Too bad the poor guy couldn’t have lived to see these more enlightened LGBTQ days.
