Some Like It Hot is some impressive cross-dressing. Blackadder got the scenario into a couple of episodes...

Was Julie Andrews really not a gay icon until the boring Victor/Victoria?

They also surgically remove any campness by having James Garner find out Victoria's sex *before* he starts fancying her. And James garner is no Anton Walbrook...

Arthur teasing Felix
And something a little different Elspeth Dudgeon actually playing a man in The Old Dark House
Supposedly James Whale could n't get an old actor who both looked and sounded right for the part.

I had a major argument with a friend over this ( it was one of his favourite films !) I agree it cops out but it could have been worse (Birdcage or To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar !) and it does have Alex Karras as non stereotypical gay. Originally Posted by CaptainWaggett

Oh wow! That was a shock to me as I've never seen that movie. I didn't know who he was until the end. Oh wow, he was brilliant. Originally Posted by Mr Sloane

Yes there is, Ken Connor did a good Drag turn I felt - not so Hawtrey or Sid James. Juliet Mills was probably the least convincing in her role in Jack Originally Posted by billy farmer

"My dear Bouvar, you really shouldn't have opened that car door yourself".....whack!....Connery delivers a sucker punch to grieving widow of Jacques Bouvar,otherwise Bob Simmons looking not to bad dressed as a woman and showing a nice bit of calf in the opening of Thunderball,luckily Bond's suspicions were correct, and while on the subject of Bond I always thought Charles Gray disguised as a woman in DAF was quite terrifying as was Rod Steiger as a delirious serial killer in "No Way To Treat A Lady", I think the cinema generally portrays cross dressing men as something to laugh at or something to be terrified of! Crying Game excepted.
