Glen or Glenda

(1953)Directed by Edward D. Wood Jr.71 minDrama
“I Changed My Sex!”

In 1953, a psychiatrist named Dr. Alton (Timothy Farrell) tells two stories to explain one subject: Glen, who cannot tell his fiancée Barbara (Dolores Fuller) that he sometimes lives as Glenda, and Alan, who is undergoing treatment to become a woman named Anne. Bela Lugosi appears as a scientist speaking over the whole thing. Edward D. Wood Jr. wrote, directed and stars as Glen, stitching it together from stock footage and sermonizing narration.
