Episode 2: Bob Clark's SHE-MAN: A STORY OF FIXATION (1967) and QUEENS AT HEART

Cruising the Movies

This month on CRUISING THE MOVIES, Liz and KJ take you into the twilight world of men turned into women with BLACK CHRISTMAS filmmaker Bob Clark’s feature debut, SHE-MAN: A STORY OF FIXATION. Made in Florida with a cast largely drawn from the stage of New York’s legendary 82 Club, SHE-MAN tells the story of Lt. Albert Rose, a macho soldier who finds himself forced to take estrogen as part of a blackmail scheme led by the mysterious Dominita. The shocking part? He likes it. THEN, KJ speaks with Caden Mark Gardner, co-author of the upcoming book "Corpses, Fools, and Monsters: The History and Future of Transness in Cinema." SHE-MAN will return to New York for the first time in decades for a rare 35mm screening with its original co-feature, the trans documentary short QUEENS AT HEART, at IFC Center on Monday, May 13th at 7pm.
