The Incredibly Strange Film Show: Ed Wood, Jr. (1989)
This British television show was hosted by Jonathan Ross and featured interviews with various "B" movie makers. When viewed today this series is all the more important because so many of the filmmakers are no longer with us.
Even before Tim Burton made his film, Ed Wood's rise in popularity had begun and this episode is devoted to his films. What's best is that we get some nice interviews with Harry Medved, Rudolph Gray, Dolores Fuller, Norma McCarty, Gregory Walcott, Paul Marco, Vampira and others. The main films focused on here are GLEN OR GLENDA?, BRIDE OF THE MONSTER, PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE, REVENGE OF THE DEAD and THE BRIDE AND THE BEAST. Fans of the director will certainly enjoy this episode since it contains interviews with so many people who actually worked with him. Obviously a lot of films are overlooked but there are still plenty of great clips from the films I mentioned as well as discussions of what it was like on a Wood set.
