    Naw, not Bela.  The part of Glen(da) was portrayed by Edward Wood,
    director of this opus as well as Plan 9.

Bela Lugosi was indeed in "Glen or Glenda".  He plays the role of the
"omnicient" narrator of the story.  In one scene we watch him watching a
very low-grade "porn" movie involving mild bondage and whipping; no
explanation.  In another wonderful split-screen effect, Bela's eyes,
which fill the top half of the screen, are overlooking footage of a
buffalo stampede.  Double wow.  His part in G|G is even more pointless
and annoying than that in Plan 9.
