Histoire
Le saviez-vous
- AnecdotesSurrealist filmmaker David Lynch called this one of his favorite films. He used the "howling wind" sound effect in Eraserhead (1977).
- GaffesThe text accompanying the close-up of a newspaper story headlined "Man Nabbed Dressed As Girl" is a hodge-podge of unrelated paragraphs lifted from stories about tax reform, a prison injury, and faith healing.
- Citations
Narrator: Give this man satin undies, a dress, a sweater and a skirt, or even the lounging outfit he has on, and he's the happiest individual in the world. He can work better, think better, he can play better, and he can be more of a credit to his community and his government because he is happy.
- Crédits fousCard at beginning: In the making of this film, which deals with a strange and curious subject, no punches have been pulled-- no easy way out has been taken. Many of the smaller parts are portrayed by persons who actually are, in real life, the character they portray on the screen. This is a picture of stark realism-- taking no sides -- but giving you the facts -- ALL the facts -- as they are today... YOU ARE SOCIETY -- JUDGE YE NOT...
- Versions alternativesAt least one VHS release (Bizarre Video's) ends the film with a fade out at the end of Anne's story, thus amputating the final few minutes of the film, so we never learn how Glen's story was resolved.

Commentaire à la une
Visionary...
With GLEN OR GLENDA, Ed Wood has created the perfect film. At once, Freudian / Faustian / Felini-esque / Bergman-like / Hitchcockian, and insanely brilliant!
Bela Lugosi is cast as the omnipotent, omniscient narrator, leading us neck-deep into this bog of cinematic ecstasy. Wood's beauty as a blonde transvestite is highlighted throughout, forcing us to question ourselves. His plan for universal domination takes full flight with this blinding glimpse of his genius!
This movie will shock you with its gritty realism and truth. It will petrify you with its frank, psychologically-sound look at the dank underbelly of human existence.
Watch! As a panty-wearing GI is transformed into a beautiful, man-handed woman!
Witness! The grand parade of bondage-babes and bad dancers, while Satan himself looks on!
Behold! Dolores Fuller doing her version of the Vampira walk, years before PLAN 9!
See! Wood's vision unfold like an angora flower in bloom! The maestro may be gone, but his legend lives on! This film must be seen, caressed, and adored...
