She-Man: A Story of Fixation

She-Man (1967)

1/2 (out of 4)

Low budget, Florida filmed trash from the man who would go onto make such classics as Black Christmas, Porky's and A Christmas Story. Albert Rose (Leslie Marlowe) is a woman loving, all man type of man who gets blackmailed by a transvestite. What does the she-man want? She wants Albert to be his/her personal slave for a year and that includes him dressing up as a woman. What Albert doesn't know is that the transvestite and the lesbian assistant are giving him estrogen pills to turn him into a real woman. I guess you could call this an alternate version of Glen or Glenda? but that would be an insult to the Ed Wood film because his movie seems like an Oscar winner compared to this one. I'm really not sure what type of crowd this film was based for and the screenplay doesn't make much sense either. Everything in the film is pretty bad, especially the acting, which is as wooden as wood can get. The film only lasts 63-minutes but I had a hard time keeping the thing going. It's strange to see Clark directing a film like this but at least he went onto better things. The only reason I didn't award this a BOMB is due to how strange it is.
