Synopsis
Upon discovering the suicide of a known transvestite, the police inspector seeks enlightenment from a psychiatrist familiar with the phenomenom. The psychiatrist tells him two tales. Glen is to be married to Barbara, but must find a way to tell her of his desire to wear her angora sweater, and of his cross-dressing needs in general. Another is the story of Alan, who decides to physically become a female via surgery.
Critics' reviews
  • "What distinguishes it from other low-budget efforts are the occasional mad flights of fancy."
  • "The passage of time has not transformed 'Glen or Glenda?' into a good movie; it has, however, revealed it to be a braver film than anyone had ever imagined."
  • "It isn't quite a camp classic, although it's dreadful enough to have a certain comic appeal. 'Glen or Glenda' is also a film of great conviction in its way, and that tends to interfere with the fun."
  • "This well-meaning disaster, rescued from the obscurity it surely craves, is without doubt a candidate for one of the worst films ever made."
