first of all and ed wood jr. be not the bad director ever and plan 9 from out space not withstand . coleman francis deserve that title . i present exhibit b and glen or glenda . the first half of the movie consist of a surprisingly thoughtful exploration of crossdressing and especially since it be make in 1953. the last 15 minute of movie be also not bad as well . this be not to say the movie doesn not have problem . bela lugosi be totally extraneous and intone odd line . poor bela look like even he wasn not sure what be happen at time . the acting be decidely wooden and though no bad than a period universal b movie . the long dream sequence that make up the middle of the film be totally bizarre while more like a vaguely menace stag film than a dream sequence . the alan or ann story and the suppose original focus of the film have a tack on quality about it . no and ed wood jr. be not the bad director ever . he be able and at least for part of this movie and to make an earnest social statement . when coleman francis try to do that in night train to mundo fine ( aka red zone cuba ) and it just end in chaos . glen or glenda be at least watchable without robot help .
