sit in a big wing chair with a huge book in his lap and the one and only bela lugosi look into the camera and and in a dreadful vocal delivery that sound a if he be mock a reading of shakespeare and intones sloooow ly represent man constant groping of thing unknown and draw from the endless reach of time and brings to light many startle thing while ( snicker ) while startle . and because they seem new ( lugosi eye now bulge and with raise eyebrow and and mouth sneering and he continue ) but most be not new and the sign of the age ( cue a visual of lighten and accompany by the sound of thunder which then continue to rumble for an astonishing 86 second ) . and so begin what be arguably the bad film ever make . this movie almost defy description . tell in semi docudrama style with an unseen narrator explain the plot . such a it be . the story revolve around the vicissitude of a man name glen ( ed wood and jr. ) who cross dress while hence the reference to glenda . the film have no real structure . instead and it consist mostly of a random assortment of vignette that may . or may not . relate to glen or to the cross dress motif . one long sequence consist of some unknown woman wriggle on a sofa and follow by a man whip a woman in what we would today refer to a s and m. then and at odd moment bela reappears and for no apparent reason and and babble more inane dialogue and like represent when he wrong because he do right and and when he right because he do wrong while pull the string and dance to that . huh . about twenty percent of the film visuals consist of stock footage and accompany by a vo that relate to the story motif but not the visuals . hence and we see stock footage of represent bustle city street and freeway traffic and a thunderous herd of buffalo and and a playground full of kid . but it get bad . in a film about cross dressing and we have 58 consecutive second of stock footage of a foundry furnace make hot steel and and 84 consecutive second of battle scene from wwii . even the simple item be botch . in one scene we see a newspaper headline that read man nab dress a girl . underneath the headline and which have clearly be glue or paste on and the article be about . tax . in one of my favorite scene and an off screen woman spout out represent airplane and why it against the creator will and in a voice that sound like she just inhale helium . except for the performance of lyle talbot and the acting be uniformly horrendous . production design be cheap look and drab while ( but you get ta love that tacky wallpaper ) . the editing be sloppy . most of the background music be suitable only for 1950 style elevator . the b and w cinematography have way too much contrast . and the costume look like something that come from a thrift store . this film be so bad it make plan 9 from out space look like citizen kane and by comparison . i just do not know how one could make a film any bad than ed wood glen or glenda . but thankfully and it get bela lugosi in it . every time he open his mouth and and gaze into the camera with those big and bulging eye and i about fell on the floor laughing .
