Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis film was way ahead of its time. One of the characters referred to J. Edgar Hoover as "....a drag queen." In 1971, Hoover was still Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and viewed as a traditional American hero by the majority of his fellow Americans.
- GoofsWhen the hustler (Gary Sandy) rips off the drag queen's (Candy Darling) wig, her hair ribbon somehow stays attached to her real hair underneath.
- Quotes
Barrett Hartman: Forgive me for not getting up. It's a bit awkward.
Lita Joyce: Don't apologize. I abhor men in a vertical position.

Featured review
slow and boring
I'd never heard of this film so I watched it last night on TCM, a premiere.
So when I saw one and a half stars I thought this isn't going to be great but still out of curiosity. It represents a generation before me so they'd have to weigh in on its authenticity. I stuck with it as much as I could and finally gave up...although I kept thinking isn't that Candy Darling? Isn't that the guy who starred in WKRP.....Ben Mankowitz only mentioned Rue McClanahan and Fannie Flagg in his intro.
