Storyline

Edit

Crazy credits
Like all Ed Wood films, LOOK BACK ends with the classic line "Made in Hollywood, USA"

Alternate versions
The director's cut featured no interviews whatsoever, letting the dialogue from Ed Wood films tell most of the story; Dudley Manlove ("Eros" in "Plan 9") was approached to narrate. Rhino insisted on interviews, including both Dolores Fuller and Kathy Wood. Both women refused to participate if footage from "Love Feast" was included (scenes of Ed Wood in drag, in a dog collar, licking a woman's boot). The footage was excised.

Good early doc on Wood

ED WOOD: LOOK BACK IN ANGORA (1994)

*** (out of four)

A somewhat interesting documentary about Ed Wood, the man and his movies. Features interviews with Dolorus Fuller, Kathy Wood and Conrad Brooks and tells Wood's story using clips from his movies. Director Ted Newsom has several other documentaries out there, including 100 YEARS OF HORRORS and to his credit, this was one of the first Wood documents. With that in mind, the film has been passed in quality by future documentaries like THE HAUNTED WORLD OF EDWARD D. WOOD, JR., which runs double the time and features more interviews. If you're a fan of Wood then this film is a good introduction but for better stories check out the other doc.

Was available through Rhino on DVD but it's now out of print.
