When I first watched this film, I had never heard of Edward D Wood Jr. or saw any of his tasteless films. I kept waiting for his story to have a happy ending -like making a movie the world would love and couldn't understand why he seemed like such an idiot while I waited patiently for him to "hit it big". When the movie ended, I felt cheated until I investigated who the real Edward D. Wood Jr. was and rented out some of his "classics" -"Plan 9 from Outer Space", "Glen or Glenda?", "Jailbait", "Bride of the Monster", "Night of the Ghouls". Now I am the "proud" owner of all these "classics" and am the biggest Edward D. Wood Jr. fan. I also have "A Look Back in Angora -The Life and Times of Edward D. Wood Jr" (a must see for any Ed Wood fan) -This hour long film shows the real Ed Wood and interviews those that knew him well. His life really spiralled out of control after "Plan 9" was nade (just like the movie said) and he became a bloated drunken derelict too pathetic to even make skin flicks at the end of his life (although he made numerous tasteless porn flicks during the 60's). This true life story would make an effective A.A. film -showing the devastating effects of extreme alcohol abuse and how it ruined Edward D. Wood Jr. (although it never destroyed his talent since he had none to begin with!!)---10 out of 10 definitely (it will make you an Ed Wood fan too!)
