Of Its Time And Place

At New York City's Town Hall competitors for a national drag queen crown rehearse, bicker, and perform.

The quality of the performers ("Am I Blue" is a frequent choice for the song), and their costuming (sequins are very popular) ranges from pretty poor to excellent. The camerawork ranges from poor to objectifying to intimate) argue this is strictly amateur. The editing by Geraldine Fabrikant and Fred Shore sets the pace as dogged. The result is a movie that can be seen as a serious record of the event, a burlesque of beauty pageants, or a plea for understanding of drag culture. Unfortunately it never seems to choose one or another. It could have worked as all three, were it not for its technical failures.

Most likely, I am misinterpreting this movie. In all probability it was intended for the queer culture audience of the day, which would look upon its messages as clear, and its failings as hilarious. For me, it was a slog.

Trivia
Jack Doroshow, who portrays Flawless Sabrina, made a personal appearance some years ago at a screening of this movie which took place at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts Library at Lincoln Center. In addition to the film, there was some soundless film footage presented of an after party which took place immediately after the contest, that footage which may have come from the personal collection of Flawless Sabrina. This footage shows that the NYPD "raided" the after party presumably because men dressing as women in those days was still illegal. Arrogantly and with no seemingly plausible reason, the police officers walked through the party requiring numerous attendees to show their identification, such harassing actions which could have arguably led up to the Stonewall rebellion of 1969.

Citas
Self - Flawless Sabrina: I go up to this queen and I say, "What's your name?" The queen says, "Monique." And you say, "That's marvelous, darling, but what was your name before?" And the queen will look at you straight in the eye and say, "There was no before."
