The strange life and the wonderfully awful films of 1950's Hollywood Z movie director
Ed Wood are profiled in this documentary that was conceived of and researched several years before commercial-filmmaker
Tim Burton made his feature film tribute. Actually, Wood does not appear much in this film. Rather, it centers on the lives and thoughts of his entourage and those who knew him. Among those interviewed are Wood's former lover and star of his earliest films,
Dolores Fuller, whom he abruptly replaced in the middle of
Bride of the Monster with actress
Loretta King who is also interviewed. Also interviewed are
Maila Nurmi (aka Vampira);
Bela Lugosi, Jr., who believes Wood destroyed his troubled father's career; Rev.
Dr. Lynn Lemon, the Baptist minister who backed Wood's most famous film
Plan 9 from Outer Space in hopes that it would generate enough income to allow Lemon's church to produce religious films;
Paul Marco, who played Kelton the Cop in several films, and actors
Conrad Brooks and
Lyle Talbot.
