	Glen or Glenda? (NR, 1953) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		I found myself occasionally wondering if Wood had originally made two or three separate movies and accidentally edited them together; as a result, it is actually quite entertaining in that it is unintentionally hilarious.
		Near the end of this scene - and here I must confess that Wood lost me completely - is a violent sexual encounter on a couch that features two characters who do not even appear in the rest of the movie and is scored by goofily upbeat folk music.
		The film wanders to a dumb happy ending that also seems to abandon much of what it was trying to say about transvestitism, but at that point it didn't matter much what happened.

	Glen or Glenda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Glen or Glenda is a movie made in 1953, starring its director Ed Wood, Bela Lugosi, and Wood's then girlfriend Dolores Fuller.

		Wood made his feature film debut (he had made two short films before this) with the 1953 picture, "Glen Or Glenda?" It was obviously intended to be a sympathetic look at men (like Wood himself) who are different from others.
		Glen knows he must reveal this side of himself to Barbara, for she's noticed some strange behavior.
		Glen is also aware to be careful with his open exhibitions of transvestism, for, at the time, it was a crime punishable by imprisonment.

		Glenda is shocked also, but by another reason: Someone like her had the nerve to do something factual about their situation.
		Glen's case was entirely of his mind, brought on by the environment of his early youth.
		His father wanted Glen to be a football hero, or a baseball player, so that he could brag to his cronies down at the corner saloon as his cronies bragged to him about their own sons.

		Glen comes from a middle class family in a very upscale neighborhood.
		After years and years of lessons by private tutors and by her mother, Glenda became an excellent violinist and used that to her advantage.
		Glen is definitely not a pretty girl, although she is bizarrely cute in an unassuming way.

	Plan 9 From Outer Space/Glen or Glenda? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		While the recent film “Underworld” uses “vampires and werewolves in the same movie!” as its gimmick, Wood, like a child wanting to play with all his toys at once, was first with “aliens, psychics, vampires, and zombies in the same movie!” Oh yeah, and there’s kind of a vampire, too.
		Glen (Ed Wood), who is not a homosexual, is struggling with his secret life, and the danger of his girlfriend finding out looms over him.

	Bright Lights Film Journal \| Glen or Glenda
		While Glen’s fiancée is hardly a “fl widow,” her power over Glen is apparent throughout the film: she is the cause of his anguish, and is symbolic of the social scrutiny he faces on a daily basis.
		Glen’s appropriation of garments associated with the opposing sex or gender (such as a pink angora sweater with matching purse and gloves) clearly “subverted the understanding of inner and outer space, and mocked the expressive [and heterosexual] model of gender roles” which existed during the “perfect” Leave It to Beaver era.
		Glen, the hero, clean-shaven and dressed in his masculine suit, succeeds in liberating Barbara by lifting the symbolic tree of deceit and deception, redeeming and purging his character of his transvestite proclivities.

		Glen or Glenda.wmv - (5.08M) - This is an excerpt from Glen's dream that he had while he was struggling with whether or not to tell Barbara about his transvestitism.
		Ed Wood made Glen or Glenda as a semi-autobiographical outlet for him to express things that he had dealt with in his own life, and as a tool to help others understand why some men feel such a strong desire to wear the dressings of the opposite sex.

		Glen Or Glenda gaat namelijk over het leven van een man, Glen, die zich in het geniep graag als vrouw optut.
		Wie nu kijkt naar Glen or Glenda hoeft zeker geen filmkenner te zijn om te merken wat een houterige, slecht geacteerde, pseudo-intellectuele prent het is. De film heeft af en toe een heel nuchtere, bijna documentaire-achtige toon.
		Na Glen or Glenda (een film die ook wel bekend staat onder de titels I Changed My Sex, He or She of He Led Two Lives) verging het Wood niet echt beter.

		Glen’s mind is awhirl with the horrible struggle about whether to tell his beautiful Barbara about his transvestism before the wedding, or let her find out after.
		A good ten minutes of the movie is dominated by Glen’s bizarre dream sequence, which features lots of scantily-clad women sexily beckoning Glen and Bela Lugosi to their boudoir.
		The big green dragon sits on your doorstep!” Glenda tries to remove a tree limb that has trapped Barbara by the fireplace, but can’t lift it; then Glen appears and easily moves it, at which point Barbara throws herself passionately at him.

	Stomp Tokyo Video Reviews - Glen or Glenda (1953)
		We return briefly to Glen and Barbara, who have triumphed over Glen's feelings of sexual inadequacy and transferred his identification with the female sex to Barbara.
		Mostly they were borderline titillation, films made with as low a budget as possible to play beneath the conversations of teenagers spending their weekends at the drive-in theaters, or between burlesque shows.
		Glen or Glenda is the kind of movie it is difficult to ignore in any situation.

	BMN Review: Glen or Glenda (1953)
		A "pseudonym" is the term used in literary science to describe a false name one assumes to conceal his or her identity.) Glen is not a homosexual.
		Somehow this dream convinces Glen (who is not a homosexual) that he must tell Barabara (a lovely and intelligent woman) his dark secret.
		"Glen or Glenda" was also released under the titles "He or She", "I Changed My Sex", "I Led 2 Lives", and "The Transvestite".

		If you like well-directed action scenes with plenty of sfx, maybe mixed with intelligent comedy and some drama, acted out by capable performers, then you won't want to see "Glen or Glenda".
		Ed Wood's continuing reign as the so-called 'worst director of all time' has earned him many fans, but it has also done his work a disservice: few reviewers dare to go against the tide and write constructively about his movies, preferring instead to hop in the so-bad-it's-good bandwagon.
		This is unfortunate, because his most interesting films are worthy of critical scrutiny - especially his first project, 'Glen or Glenda' (1953).

		The principal bio concerns Glen (Edward Wood Jr.), a masculine-appearing heterosexual with a life-long proclivity for feminine frills.
		Tormented, Glen suffers from nightmarish visions of Barbara rejecting him, of straight people taunting him, and of a satanic figure bedeviling him; that demon represents Glen's disapproving father.
		Thus, GLEN OR GLENDA can be viewed as a splintered mirror reflection of Hollywood glory, a movie that succeeds by sheer virtue of the chutzpah of those who completed it against all odds.

		This section is fairly dull and clips of the first part seem to make their way in from time to time, so even Ed must have been less keen on it.
		Glen's story is definitely the soul of the film.
		Along with Glen's hallucinations, we have the customary Woodian random images - buffalo stampedes, lightning, even Bela's presence is pretty randomly used - and the classic dialogue.

		The movie a fictional documentary approach to transvestitism was semi-autobiographical in nature; Wood himself a transvestite and fans of this movie that Wood filmed it as a plea tolerance.
		Leonard Maltin 's best-selling Movie and Video Guide names this film as "possibly the movie ever made." Moviegoers familiar with Wood's cite this movie as being even worse his more famous Plan 9 from Outer Space -- and this makes it a for afficianadoes of bad movies.
		While vocalist/soap-opera star Tammy Lang's affiliation with producer-musician Kramer on Glen or Glenda demands direct comparison to Bongwater's old chanteuse-in-residence Ann Magnuson, Reasons in the Sun is an ambitious project in its own right.

		What the viewers got was a little bit of a documentary, a little bit of a mockumentary, and a whole lot of extraneous rambling from a mad scientist about snips, snails and dragons, and bizarre scenes of a cartoon-like devil and borderline sadomasochistic footage.
		Early on, the viewer knows Glen or Glenda is going to be about a controversial topic.

		Glen or Glenda, aka I Changed My Sex (1953), is the earliest of the four films here.
		There’s the famous scene where Glen confesses his problem to his girlfriend (Dolores Fuller) and, in a stiff, almost ritualized way, she hands him her angora sweater.
		There’s none of that rushed, ragged feel of Plan 9 or Glen or Glenda, where the narrative is skewered with strange, seemingly unrelated interludes that make these works compulsively watchable as we await the next surprise.
