#Bales2023FilmChallenge March 10: Someone's wearing a #wig for #InternationalWigDay

Re-released by Something Weird you're forgiven to think that She-Man: A Story of Fixation (1967) will be a schlockfest. Instead it's a versatile as Bob Clark's filmography. She-Man – and do please forgive the wording – is part #fetish fest, part #mondo movie, part #queer liberation. Real-world female impersonator Leslie Marlowe plays Lt. Albert Rose, a military man forced into wearing lingerie and said wig and eventually embracing it as “Rose Albert”. I loved this #film which reminded me of Ed Wood's Glen or Glenda, another lovingly made #LowBudget crossdresser movie made by the people who lived it.
