Thanks Gerald! That’s it!

I didn’t write back immediately because I was on my way to Cambridge, Ma. I passed the old site of the Orson Welles Cinema and was able to connect my memories even better because of the information on this list.

Thanks again!

I have been trying to find the name of a film that I saw at the Orson Welles Cinema, sometime around 1978-9. It was not a great film, but I really liked it. It was charming and I saw it three times in two days. As you can tell it has gotten under my skin.

The film was set in Toronto. There were two friends, a schizophrenic young woman and a man who worked as a female impersonator/transvestite, in a club, singing. I thought the film was out of the Film Board of Canada, but haven’t been able to find it on their website. Does anyone here remember anything about this? I will attempt to contact some of the people mentioned earlier in these comments, but if you know who may have been involved in programming the films around then it would be a help.

Thanks!
