This documentary uses interveiws, period footage, and a fictive pulp fiction style romance to explore butch and femme roles in the 1950-1960's. The fictive love story ends with some soft-core porn (PG if it was hetero-sexual)and has a radically happy ending. The movie attempts to use a variety of women - a Haida woman, a Costa Riccan woman, a cowpoke, a femme who left her husband but there is a majority of urban, white, androgynous women. The bias doesn't ruin the point, the point being REAL women's experiences with roles and the larger urban environment, however edited for effect.
Viewer Reviews
This is really a fabulous movie--a great companion to the excellent production of the "Beebo Brinker Chronicles" just closed in NY--a dramatization of this important period of lesbian life--the 1950's, a time of odd "freedom" and horrendous repression.
The film is humorous, wise, and informative--very well made. A classic.
