as insanely bad as this movie is, it retains perverse pleasures that serve it well as a cult icon

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.

This well-meaning disaster, rescued from the obscurity it surely craves, is without doubt a candidate for one of the worst films ever made.

Even in the camp cult genres this is still dreadful.

Funny to watch, but not as funny as you might remember.

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.

It baffles science and logic and rudimentary narrative skills, but it's fascinating.

Just because Ed Wood's become a cultural icon, that doesn't make this movie any less hilariously inept.

Ed Wood's infamous cross-dressing anti-classic.
