    One of Ed Wood's best and it still stinks
    Here's my very quick and basic review of this movie. Considering the main character is dying, she sure looks awfully healthy and robust. She's all dressed up and ready to go to town at the end of the movie, and... her time's up! She dies like someone slowly flipped off her switch in about 20 seconds' time. Wow.
