Everything you know about sex is true.

Glen or Glenda

Videos with Bibi has dug up Ed Wood's 1953 movie Glen or Glenda: Confessions of Ed Wood, The Transvestite, Glen or Glenda? or He or She.

The movie is a docudrama about transvestism and transsexuality, and is semi-autobiographical in nature. Wood himself was a transvestite, and the movie is a plea for tolerance. However, it has become a cult film due to its low-budget production values and idiosyncratic style.

The sex reassignment surgery of Christine Jorgensen, born George William Jorgensen, Jr., made the headlines in the US in 1952, and prompted George Weiss, a Hollywood producer of low-budget films, to commission a movie to exploit it. Wood took the job, but instead made a movie about transvestism. The movie was deemed too short and too divergent from what was requested, so Wood tacked on a few extra scenes about sexual reassignment. The producer spliced in two unrelated soft-core sequences, one with some mild bondage, cutting in reaction shots of Wood and Lugosi.
