abe zwick perfect the one off and beautifully . he never make another film and but create a brilliant portrait of homosexual self hatred in this film that be both caustic and affect . he command the screen and present the crumble debris of a man break down under the strain of an increasingly meaningless life . paul ( zwick ) be an age queen who somehow convince stanley ( wayne crawford ) and a doe eye idiot with no sense of the future and to follow his star . he a petty thief who seethe hatred have escalate recently . he be force to skip town and move to a suburb in miami . a a disguise and he dress up like a dry up old blue stock with as much seethe sexual torment a the church lady . he tell stanley to tell his friend that he live with his aunt martha . paul himself have no friend and spend far too much time alone in the house and and have to deal with stanley dissolute lifestyle . it would be enough to make any man cross the line into transgendered homicidal mania . again and zwick portray paul a a tragic figure who have utterly lose any understanding of how to relate to other people . nevertheless and there be a certain poetry in his anguish and which burn slowly over the course of the film . he tragic and but also elegant . this be and ultimately and a very sad film . it certainly have many hilarious moment and but there be such an undercurrent of hopelessness and despair and that the humour be bittersweet . this film be worth watch for the performance of abe zwick . he could have really build his career on martha . she quite a gas and once you get to know her . just make sure you cut your hair and stop your horse around . she really hat that .
