The Ed Wood boxed set seems to agree with most people that Wood's golden period ends with Plan 9 from Outer Space, but a year later, he made The Sinister Urge, a hapless crime picture set in the sorry-can't-show-it world of pornography, and I think it should be considered an essential part of his canon. It feels so autobiographical, with its disappointed film maker turning to the world of smut, bit of drag, etc. (plus, Ed Wood himself in a gratuitous fist fight!). 4 years 11 months ago
