A cop goes to a doctor to discuss a cross-dresser's suicide. The doctor tells the story, with interruptions by Bela Lugosi and figurative scenes depicting the character's indecision.
This is claimed to be one of the worst films ever and I think it'as idealogically as well as cinematographically one of the worst I've seen. Much of it is unrelated scenes with pointless music. That's enough to earn a bad review here. What irks me is that it's all about men dressing as women and how bad that is. One woman was complaining about her brother stretching sweaters, but never thought to just tell him to get his own. There is a voice-over of men discussing why they don't understand trasvestites with footage of a factory (porobably a steel mill). It's really cobbled together and lacks the "women dressing as men" scenes which may have made it coherent. Also, the "problem" of men dressing as women is them not being accepted by other people. With all of the other problems in this world, a whole movie had to be made about some people's choice in clothing? The Bela Lugosi angle reeks of Haxan (1922) and demonizing any rejection of religion, but somehow making it all that much more appealing at the same time. (image) This is supposed to be funny, but was made before hippies existed. I don't get the goal of this or why it was thought to be a good decision to make. It ended up a pile of crap and I rate it shit. Do not watch!
