| Product Details |
| A curiosity about transvestism and sex changes. Exploitative in its time and filled with sinister characters and spooky settings, the film is a major hoot for today's viewers. Bela plays a ghoulish narrator/puppetmaster who threatens to "Pull the string!" of helpless mortals. |

Professional Reviews
|
| : |
(05/27/1981, Lor.): "...With some wacky and often hilarious dialogue and narration...", (10/19/2004, p.3D, Mike Clark): "Courageous in some ways but absurd in so many more, Wood's first feature is a heartfelt tolerance plea for men who dress in women's clothing..." |

Quotes from the Movie
|
| : |
"Only the infinity of the depths of a man's mind can really tell the story..." (Psychiatrist) "You go ahead and wear your sister's dress, Glen. You always did look much better as a girl than you do as a man." (Glen's Mother) "I thought German psychology explains a lot of the facts, but I'm afraid the end of study is only the beginning of reality." (Barbara to Glen) "Acting the woman and being the woman are two entirely different thing." (Psychiatrist) From Mrs. Edward Wood: "I can't tell you how pleased I was to find an original version of my husband's most deeply personal film still available at Bizarre Video. I wholeheartedly endorse this version, which contains no added footage from other sources." |
