The film did convey the the important idea that being transgendered does not mean that one is mentally ill. Unfortunately, the film doesn't stress this idea sufficiently. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Christopher C Nov 30 I do not understand why this has a 0 rating. For 1970 this was ridiculously ahead of its time. The main actor provides an excellent nuanced process of changing. Is it perfect of course not but it strikes a balance of how tough it is for a gender challenged person to work through the steps to make such a drastic change. It is very unfortunate that the photographic boss character who appears BI could not have been portrayed in a better light instead as an abuser. See more Read all reviews
