"Glen or Glenda" (1953) was of course directed by Edward D. Wood, who
also gave us "Plan 9 From Outer Space".  I think he deserves some
sort of recognition for creating two of the most inept films of all
time.  According to Leonard Maltin's "TV Movies 1983-84 Revised Edition"
(a veritable treasury of mini-reviews, including probably 1,000 "bombs"),
director Wood actually starred as Glen, under the name Daniel Davis.
If you want to see this film (or avoid seing it again!) it is also known
by the alternate names "I Changed My Sex," "I Led Two Lives,", and
"He or She".
