Is Ed Wood the worst director who ever lived? His films are campy, clumsy, and hysterically inept, but their enthusiasm and good humor overcome incoherent scripts and wooden performances with heart, soul, and an infectious sense of fun. The jaw-dropping "documentary" Glen or Glenda? is a bizarre confessional starring Wood himself as a misunderstood transvestite and Bela Lugosi as a smirking godlike narrator. "Pull ze string!" shouts Lugosi as Wood reveals his angora fetish and love of women's underwear to the world. Lugosi returns as a mad scientist revenging himself on the world ("Home? I have no home!") in Bride of the Monster, a howler of a horror picture. Tor Johnson, the hulking Swedish wrestler turned B-movie icon, made his first Wood appearance as the lumbering beast Lobo (he almost knocks over the set in one scene!) tamed by the touch of angora. Finally there's Wood's "masterpiece," the clumsy, nearly incoherent, and ridiculously cheap Plan 9 from Outer Space. A tall, skinny, blond chiropractor subs for short, raven-haired Bela Lugosi (who died after a few days of shooting), cardboard gravestones wobble as the actors walk by, and night and day randomly come and go within the same scene. --Sean Axmaker

After experiencing "Plan 9 From Outer Space", I was interested in seeing more of Ed Wood's.....creations. PBS happened to be showing "Glen Or Glenda" one night. I decided to tune in. Long after the movie was over, I still sat there with my mouth hanging open, staring at the TV in utter amazement. This movie....this movie has to be seen to be believed. It is so stupifyingly bad that it's a real classic. It's like a prehistoric LSD trip in black & white. Especially the part when all of the people are ... Read More

So I bought this movie because I thought it'd be campy fun. Instead, what a surprise it was to find a 1950's movie from Ed Wood that was risque, daring, and thoughtful.
In the 1950s or 60s or 70s, cross-dressers, gays, and other 'deviants' were NEVER portrayed as either sympathetic characters or as being in any way normal. Yet, Ed Wood, drawing from his own life, with support from his friends and associates, made a movie about men whose sexuality was DIFFERENT, yet who were otherwise ... Read More

I'm not sure why I watched this again recently. I was rewatching movies about Hollywood, getting through SUNSET BOULEVARD and Blake Edwards' S.O.B., I put in a few minutes of Tim Burton's ED WOOD before the heavy reality snuffed out the fun of it all....
Then I wondered: was GLEN OR GLENDA really that bad?
Yes. And more. Or worse, depending on how you measure these things.
If you know nothing about Ed Wood and his inept film career, you will be completely lost ... Read More

In my opinion, this is the worst movie ever made. Plan 9 From Outer Space is like Lawrence Of Arabia compared to Glen or Glenda. I gave it 2 stars because Bela Lugosi's parts are funny. Starts with Bela in a laboratory making some ridiculous Ed Wood speech containing classic quotes as "MAN IS WRONG BECAUSE HE DOES RIGHT. RIGHT BECAUSE HE DOES WRONG! PULL DA STRINGS!" Then the film is all over the place with stock footage, Wood dressed in women clothes, etc. Some whiney voice saying "If the creator ... Read More

"Write what you know," goes the adage.
Applying that sage admonition to heart, noir B-cinema savant Ed Wood concocted his sole masterpiece, a crossdressing confession / fantasy that remains, half a century later, the supremest TS call-to-arms.
Employing a disciplined narrative not discerned in his freakier (and more notoriously renowned) fare, Wood kicks off with high transtragic drama, then aims his ideological agenda sharply at God and mankind, then proceeds to dramatize the ... Read More
