SHE MAN: A STORY OF FIXATION d. Bob Clark, 1967 presented by TGirlsonFilm & Funeral Parade, part of TRANS-X-PLOITATION at The Prince Charles Cinema (20 JUN 18:30).

Devilish drag queen, Dominita (Dorian Wayne) force feminises ex-solider, Albert Rose (Leslie Marlowe), and blackmails him for deserting during action in the Korean War.

This pre-Stonewall exploitation classic takes the previous decade’s Jorgensen mania and ranks it up a notch, an early credit by Bob Clark of BLACK CHRISTMAS cult fame and a bizarre but charming attempt at tolerance towards trans identities.

Both lead actors were popular drag queens of their day, with a cameo from 60s trans performer, Hans Crystal. The film is part exploitation, part psychodrama and part kinky fantasy. The film’s original tagline read “Is he?..or Isn’t she? Only the doctors know for sure”. Well, it’s 2023 now darling so resident trans film hosts Sarah & Jaye have sent the doctors packing and taken over, for the next in there trans-exploitation series.
