1977 comedy
Rating: 14/20
Plot: A schizophrenic woman, who has recently left the institution, moves in with her best friend, an up-and-coming female impersonator.
This grew on me slowly. Initially, I was attracted to the performance of Hollis McLaren. It wasn't exactly subtle, and I'm not sure it was entirely realistic either, but she has this magnetic quality. Craig Russell, as female-impersonating Robin, took a little longer to grow on me, but I ended up really liking him, too. As he emerges as a cross-dressing force to be reckoned with, the performance gets showier and showier. Those bits were fine, but what I really loved about these characters was their friendship and the natural way that the movie developed that.
