Recollections of a drag queen
Wartime service and 1950's repression never looked so dazzling as in this short documentary about a 'squishy' drag queen. The use of stills, re-enactments and amazing footage from the Australian War Memorial vividly bring this astonishing story to life.
Walter Lee, aka Vivien's first person account is a harsh reminder of Australia's conservative past when the practice of male homosexuality was considered a punishable crime.
