There are those in cinema who are
remembered and celebrated because of their genius: Hitchcock, Kurosawa,
Truffaut, Fellini, Wilder, and so on. But only one filmmaker is remembered and
celebrated for his lack of talent: Edward D. Wood, Jr., the mind behind such “classics”
as Plan 9 From Outer Space, Glen or
Glenda and Bride of the Monster.
He was the Orson Welles of bad movies, writer, director, producer and actor,
but if Welles is one end of the spectrum, then Wood is the other.
