Subject: RE: BS: 'Glen or Glenda'. 'Plan 9..' Ed Wood jr.
I have my own copy of "Glen Or Glenda". Supposedly, Wood got the funding to make it from a religious group who thought he was producing a social commentary of some sort - which he was. Poor Bela. "Snips and snails and puppy dogs' tails". Talk about crappy dialogue. But he was in a drug induced stupor and probably never noticed.

The movie is semi-sutobiographical. Wood's second wife says she was content to share her angora sweaters with him. It is somewhat poignant, especially if you know someone who has similar tendencies.
