Ed Wood: Glen Or Glenda? (1953) Part 3 Of 7

[mhermit]

-"I wanna get married."

-"You HAVE a problem."

[mhermit]

I met Delores Fuller at a convention in Baltimore about 15 years ago. She was just beautiful & as sweet as could be.

[shawnfella]

At 7:38 a guy goes through a door. He moves to close the door behind him but it doesn`t latch. The picture on the wall is crooked. The actor moves away from the door and out of the shot. Ed keeps the camera on the door for several lines of dialogue. Not on the actors, on the door. Incredibly, he cuts the shot on the door and splices it together with the same shot only the door has been adjusted and the crooked picture on the wall has been straightened.

Classic Ed Wood.

[shawnfella]

I think Ed needs to come to the realization that you can be BOTH a transvestite AND bat shit crazy.

[Filipjphry]

Are the steelwork machines talking to each other?

[MademoiselleZombi]

This movie is so ridiculously progressive. And terrible. I think I love it.

[SuperAfda]

The bison were film footage that Ed Wood got for free. It just adds to the bizarreness of trying to work in Bella Lagose-who was a friend of Wood and in desperate need of work.

[Thresch]

Oh god the bisons :DDD

[LLydarth]

Transvestism is weird. Only a handful of weirdos do such things.

Please click on my channel + watch clips of so-bad-they're-good horror movies and comedy and a satirial video me + EH made about our prime minister and a video of Ed Miliband impressively arguing against climate change sceptisism when he was energy minister.

[MichaelLeroi]

Dolores Fuller is such a bad actress XD

[ralfodrum]

@MichaelLeroi She actually became a successful songwriter.Funny

[totopatter]

The whole movie is like a cheesy instruction video from the 50s.

Like a Coronet production:

- Boys Beware! (of homosexuals)

- How to Hide your Emotions!

- Dating Do's and Don't's!

Part-parody, part-absurd film based on regulated conformist traditional mysoginistic tendencies of the 50s, based on Ed Wood's life (of course). John Waters was like spacetime continuum, he picked up where Ed Wood left off.. And to the person who said that this movie's like Citizen Kane: ROFL! plz watch more movies

[BrisVegess]

Ed's acting as 'Glen' is actually quite passable.

[kaushikpaddy]

isnt this based on his life??

[BrisVegess]

@kaushikpaddy It is.Ed was into wearing girl's clothes.He wore female pantsuits and underwear.But he was hetersexual with a lot of traditionally macho idiosyncracies.

[colleenboye]

I was drinking water during the "pull the string" bit. A mistake is made, indeed.

[Evilclown1986]

That must be the most realistic courtroom i've ever seen :P

Pure Ed Wood awesomeness

[lastswordfighter]

@something9313 Than make a film dealing transvetieism than. Don't make a film that looks it's a pyschological exploration piece or an attempted horror film.

[SuppressionSquad]

This movie makes it look like every guy is a transvestite.

[PirateLordRogan]

Buffalo and Lugosi out of FUCKING NOWHERE! I think Glen should be more worried if he "hit her between the eyes" with that jump cut.

[queenzakiya91]

Well it's better than twilight :)

[Mechanicaldrugs98]

I really want to see a proper remake of this. with some better acting and a more diverse choice of camera angles

[XxBowieTipxX]

I like how at 5:36 Glen throws his cigarette onto the floor of the lingerie shop.

[madisonn90]

haha, its a crap. i love it !

[Theguynamedkyle]

Have you seen the newspaper yet? BAM

[DuchessAliana]

ROFLMAO I cannot stop laughing at the random cut to the buffalo stampede and "PULL THE STRINK! PULL THE STRINK!" bahahaha wtf? 

[Catharsis26]

I think the line should have been "The end of study is only the beginning of education." Terrible movie, I've loved every second of it. Thank you very much for the upload!

[Bobzeaux]

7:39 - I did not hit her, it's bullshit! I never hit her!  I did NAHT!

...Oh hai,Glen. ^_^

[luridplanet]

Ed Wood had no clue about dialogue, totally stilted and forced - as if he never talked to people. I guess that's why he's still remembered

[rut8888]

1:04 "Isn't that a strange case, I wonder how some people mind works"

What the hell ?

[LWall2000]

What a store! All the inventory is under the front counter.

[PinkLeopard80s]

This seems more like a documentary than a movie...still its funny

[Zinefilika]

@PinkLeopard80s its a documentary..

[loserwoman87]

'I wanna get married'

'You have a problem!'

Finally-someone who truly see marriage for what it is :D

(seriously-what the hell?!)

[Stauderhorse]

*random buffaloes*

[uzuki222]

awww...random stock footage...that's Ed Wood for ya!

[tiffhuhn]

Portentious dialogues, bad actors (apart from Mr. Lugosi), it's so incredibly bad... I just like it

[thunderheart226]

lol at 1:00 crappy editing

[Fike2308]

Lots of pointless stock footage....

[MerleOberon]

$21.95 for a nightie must have been a lot of money then...

[dannyrose55]

ok now i want to be a woman, so i can wear comfortable clothes

[ani451]

@dannyrose55 women's clothes=not comfortable...but we don't dress the way they did back then. i've never even worn a pretty dress like that or an angora sweater. i bet it would be nice, lol. compared to tight jeans etc.

[sondano]

@ani451 ancient female clothes (i.e pre-1990) are just horrible. I could never wear a skirt, a dress, a blouse or any of that shit. Only loose jeans and t-shirts for me . They are cheap and practical and that's all clothes must do

[onsenfoudunom1]

Worst acting ever

[rabidrabbitshuggers]

I have never laughed so hard--Wood is an unintentional genius.

[noobbeekeep]

Pull da strink! Pull da Strink! A mistake's made. A story must be told...

What sort of drugs was Wood on?

[Ilshofen]

What's with the factory shots? Some hidden symbolism no doubt! Btw Glen's fiance is an awful actress!

[kyrkbymannen]

I Love this, it's hideous and sick!

Extremley amusing!!! Do younhabe more Ed Wood??

[Preliator0]

these VOs are absolutely hilarious

[sk9utube]

the narration is absolutely classic vintage 1950's patriarchal charm mixed with dialogue

[encel85]

And those cheap lightning scenes in every of his movies. Senseless but hilarious.

[encel85]

This movie is just unusual bad. Just consider that a movie like "Citizen Kane" is about 12 years older than this but it looks like 12 times better ;-)

[Preliator0]

but this aint citizen Kane

[encel85]

Oh really? :)

[Chessykatzenz]

Is it just me, or is Glen's fiance pretty hot?

[shayleydoll]

ha ha love the way he just throws his cigarette down in the shop

[3investigators]

Funny how they justify transvestitism by insisting" It's ok. Transvestites are NOT homosexuals" as if that were a horrible thing! Clothes of the "opposite sex"...I didn't know people of ANY sex were born wearing clothes at all! hehehe

[phillitupp]

I did not know that any men were born wanting to have sex with other men as soon as they have popped out of mommy!. hehehe

[3investigators]

Well, we're all born with our sexual sexual natures in place no matter who we end up wanting to have sex with - just as we are born with our ultimate hair/eye color and which hand we will favor etc. (and in the 1950's it was also still considered by many not so good to be left handed!)

[phillitupp]

I think you are wrong to say that peoples sexual natures are in place from birth. It is wrong of you to say it because each person is different with different lives, family's, ways of being brought up, how your childhood went, how the opposite sex treated you through life, what you have been taught, what you have not been taught, so to say that all people are born gay, lesbian, or straight is wrong.

[3investigators]

I'm not here to prove anyone "right" or "wrong". I'm merely expressing that we are as we are at birth. We can only "learn" behavioral patterns, moral attitudes, standards and oppinions based upon experiences, education and upbringing - but who we are is who we are by our nature - no matter WHO we are.

[anomuious96789]

"Glen, is it another woman?"

Buffalo's Runs Out

"PULL THE STRING! PULL THE STRING! A mistake is made, a story must be told!"

I think Lugosi was talking about the buffalo's. He's like fuck glen/glenda, how those buffalo's get there?

[lllexoduslll]

Pull da strink! Pull da strink!!

[dilcofilms]

wow this film is pretty but it's definitly not boreing.

[haseo18615]

What purpose did the buffalo have?

[RockoMyler]

I'm not even halfway through it yet, but from what I've seen thus far, Ed Wood seems like he wasn't too bad of an actor.

I won't comment on his directing however; that's been covered a thousand times over already.

[vinushka01]

I'm not knocking the man -- I think you're right about his acting skills -- but Wood said in interviews that this story was pretty much autobiographical, so it might have been easier for him to be realistic.

[kristeva24]

Barbara: 'What's the matter GLEN DArling?' ;)

[DemonFishy5]

Ed sort of looks like John Cleese.. in a way

[am1gv]

running cattle? pull the strings? i wish i could ask ed wood, whats that all mean? im as confused as i was the first time i watched 2001: a space odessy lol

[Zinefilika]

@am1gv why don u understand??? are u english speaking?

[tubbyflip]

what does he mean by 'pull the string" ? lol. that was just weird!!!

[EdWoodFilms]

its been argued that it could mean that he's telling Glen (or Glenda) to take control of his life and admit his tranvestiteness. but no official explanation has been released.

[mrtotheextreme]

@EdWoodFilms I like the idea of no explanasion it makes it a very corny and enjoyable line.

[Bobzeaux]

@EdWoodFilms

I never understood that line, yet it still somehow made COMPLETE sense. *lol*

Any insight on that little green dragon bit?

[kaushikpaddy]

@EdWoodFilms then whats with the buffaloes?

[jbartz]

Maybe he meant pull the rip chord (like on a parachute).

[jbartz]

ripcord i mean

[vassilli19910666]

@tubbyflip the pull the strings was the weird part.....in this abomination of a movie...yeah

[MissMael]

Oooooh the symbolism of the steel melting pot (what's the proper English word for those things?)

Still enjoying the movie XD

[MissMael]

Ed must have forgotten that he already had introduced Barbra.
