Transvestite director fancied angora
GLASSY from Page 6
rambled on endlessly about his char
acter in “Plan Nine”: Kelton the cop.
Shortly thereafter our mailboxes
were constantly stuffed full of trin
kets: Kelton the cop bumper stickers,
autographed photos, balloons and the
elusive Kelton the cop fake-gold
embossed key chain. Marco, like
“Plan Nine from Outer Space” refuses
to go away. Is it the worst film ever
made? Ray Kinnard in Filmfax says
it’s not the worst film ever made, but
still states, “The film was, and re
mains, utter swill.”
Michael Weldon, author of the
indispensable “Psychotronic Ency
clopedia of Film,” says, “It’s the most
entertaining bad film you’ll find.”
With the aid of Paul Marco, and a
host of magazines, rumors and criti
cism, here is a “Plan Nine” viewing
guide:
• Because of virtually no budget,
director Ed Wood avoided hiring an
extra cast member or two by appear
ing in drag in several scenes. Early in
the film he can be spotted as a woman
crying at a funeral (with her hands
over her face) and doubling for Mona
McKinnon when she runs from the
caped chiropractor and falls into a
ditch alongside a country road.
• Two “Plan Nine” stars were on
“You Bet Your Life” with Groucho
Marx. The hugely talented wrestler
actor Tor Johnson was subjected to
Groucho’s wisecracks about his
weight, and Joanna Lee, who plays the
alien Tanna, seemed to have the las
civious comedian quite enamored.
• Horror movie/TV show host El
vira is actually a blatant rip-off of
“Plan Nine” co-star Vampira.
Vampira’s claim to fame was that she
once made whoopee with James
Dean.
• Depending on your source, the
Martian spaceships were cither paper
plates stapled together, spray-painted
silver and suspended on wires, or
hubcaps on wires. When the military
wages an all-out assault on the space
crafts, off-screen crewmen threw fire
crackers at the hubcaps.
• Wood fell on hard times in the
’60s and eked out an existence writing
pornographic novels and nudie films.
Oneofthem,“Orgyof the Dead,”isan
incredible timepiece narrated by
Criswell, featuring a young couple
who crash in acemetcry and are terror
ized for 90 minutes by “dead” women
doing strip dances.
“Plan Nine From Outer Space”
(1959) will be screened Friday at 6
p.m. at Avery Auditorium as part of
the University Program Council’s
“Bad Film Festival.”
