She-Man: A Story of Fixation

Let me first say I LOVE many of Bob Clark's films, and that is the main reason I checked this one out. I also love cheesy movies (ie Robot Monster, Plan 9 From Outer Space, Glen or Glenda etc). But this film that comes in at 68 minutes, was dreadful. There are several other films of this genre that are much more entertaining. Avoid this one. You've been warned.

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.

Come on now any movie released through "something Weird Video" Is bound to be,well Weird,And so this movie is..it's not just weird it's really really weird.This is what I've come to expect from SWV that's Why I watch these titles and love them so much.So I thought I'd write this comment to counter the negative remarks.Yes this movie is very low budget..with amateurish acting,directing and everything else.I think when you go into any SWV you have to do it with an open mind.Trust me there are a lot of these types of movies I can't stand,but if your a sicko like me and you might be interested in a movie about cross dressing,blackmail,lesbians,and dominatrix's check this one out......It's a hoot!

Bring a bottle of no-dose with you because this worthless, trashy, horrible, piece of junk, will have you snoring at the opening credits.

One of the worst Miami-filmed and produced films ever made. A hissy, gross-looking, cross-dressing weirdo forced a member of the U.S. Army to dress-up in women's underwear and act like a sissy in heat! The cast of this film looks liked it was dug up from a local "Drag-Queen" skid-row strip-club.

This film is so bad that they should pay people to sit through it! I thought I was going to pull-my-teeth-out (Brando's line!) with the lousy, stiff, wooden, acting of the actors. The transvestite was so over the top that you can't help but start laughing.

Aside from a few demented chuckles, there is nothing else to praise about this movie. Seriously, the cast is so unattractive in their roles that it makes you feel like you're viewing a carnival "Freak-Show". Once the film is over, you have to brush your teeth to get the "bad taste" out of your mouth.

She-Man is a Freak-Man! The worst movie ever-made....in Miami that is!

Plot: A soldier is forced to take estrogen and wear lingerie when he's blackmailed by a violent transvestite.

That's it folks. The plot can be written on a napkin. Only in this case the napkin should have been burned.

The movie is really horrible. It's positioned as a learning movie with an old guy in a suit introducing the movie and providing the exiting speech calling for tolerance. Only isn't blackmailing someone into doing something he doesnt want to do a crime?

Virtually nothing happens for a full half of the movie. Th acting is horendous.

It's so slow I was spacing out left and right. Just bad. Bob Clark writes and directs this garbage. For those in the know, he made Porky's, A Christmas Story and some other well known low budget flicks.

Thankfully he got some talent after this fiasco.
