User review:

It’s very much of a piece with The Cockettes’ live shows, which is to say chaotic, raucous, haphazard and “amateurish,” which I mean in a GOOD way.

It is great fun, and thoroughly bawdy, “not for children or stupid adults” (to quote Karen Finley). It is a wild tranny romp, subverting traditional gender roles and mocking uptight straight — and gay — society with merciless abandon.

The film captures a slice of queer culture from the pre-plague era, when being outrageous and having fun was reason enough to carry on in the never-never land of the San Francisco scene.

I understand that one of the Cockettes is selling a DVD transfer of it, but I don’t believe it’s otherwise available.
