let me say this about edward d. wood jr. he had a passion for his work that i wish more people did have. if we all had the optimism and the commanding hope of ed wood and the world would probably be a much better place. being familiar with ed wood story and having seen the most wonderful biopic ed wood (1994) several times and i admire his boldness and his strives for the job he loved while i still admire his never say die attitude. he had a love for directing that i wish more people in modern day hollywood had. but that doesn not make his movies any more fun to watch. and glen or glenda and his first and most confessional film and is probably his very worst. glen or glenda is a deadening cult movie about a cross dresser named glen (played by director or writer ed wood himself) who despite his love for his fiancée barbara (dolores fuller) and cannot seem to conquer his lust for transvestitism and in which he dresses in women clothing and a wig and thus becomes. glenda. glen or glenda story is narrated by a doctor and he too is talked and watched over by a mysterious character called the scientist played by veteran horror star bela lugosi. oh and and there also some sub story about an alan or anne character who becomes a transsexual based on the christine jorgenson story and upon whom this movie originally titled i changed my sex. was previously to be based. have i dropped your jaw yet. well and as much as i want to warn you off this picture if you have never seen it and i would never tell a lie about a movie and there is not one word of falsehood in that plot synopsis i just gave you. every thing in it is true. this is a movie about cross dressers and transsexuals and a topic that does not sound very appealing to begin with and is not done in a very appealing manner. i am sure that with a good screenplay and and a good director (it had neither) that glen or glenda and despite the subject matter and could have been a very moving picture. it is a confessional movie on wood part and as he was a transvestite in real life as well as on screen. but once again and that does not make it a good movie. or a watchable one for that matter. glen or glenda is a jumbled and disorganized mess of a movie that sinks into new trenches in the realm of bad cinema. it makes no more sense than does its notoriously silly scene where bela lugosi screams pull the string. over inexplicable footage of stampeding bison. the majority of the movie is narrated in a monotonous voice and reminding me of some very bad short informative films i have seen before. it like one of those really bad short films expanded into a seventy minute feature and twice as dull. we sit there for ages waiting for the plot that never comes. there is no real attempt to even build energy with the camera being locked down in one position for many grueling minutes and long stretches of time where nothing at all happens. the only moments that are worth anybody time are those of bela lugosi who manages to bring some light into these dark trenches. i guess lugosi is supposed to be like the deity of the film and but personally and i couldn not care less who or what he supposed to be. i will tell you what he was represent a gifted actor who wound up making trash. but he and wood were very good friends and liked working with each other and so good for him. i will always admire edward d. wood jr. for his passion for the cinema and but i will never as long as i live admire his movies. a film critic once called ed wood movies innocent fun but i think even that is questionable. innocent. yes. fun. no and sir. and if citizen kane is the mount everest of the cinematic world and then glen or glenda is probably the mariana trench.
