Finally, (spoiler), Holly's ill fated romance goes sour when her boyfriend discovers that she is transsexual. This too is dead on accurate. I felt it hit me in the gut... having been there all to often myself. I do wish more would have been explained, however, like how was Hollis/Holly's aunt able to live on her own in their house in Hollywood when Hollis was off fighting in a war? She claimed she had to start selling their furniture so she could eat, but how much furniture could she have had really. She does mention she never had a job, so those furniture sells must've gone a long way... Again, it was possible a lesser-known song, or one that did not make it to mainstream production, by Marley included the alleged sentiment about women. Margaret aylurards BRITISH FILMS". The Sun.

If you are looking for the perfect date night film... or great drama... This film is NOT the film for you. But if you are looking for a film which sensitively and accurately portrays what it is like for "young transitioning" transwomen this is it. Even its dated production is dead on accurate. The film was made in 1981, using Los Angeles as a location. I lived in L.A. right at that time. I am also transsexual, having transitioned socially to living as a girl as a teenager... and having has surgery in 1981. Thus, this film spoke directly to me.Next, we attempted to prove or disprove whether anyone had indeed asked Marley "if the perfect woman existed" before his death in 1981, as well as proof to determine if the post accurately repeated his response to the question.

King Kroger VIII (Fred Willard) of the planet Zuko is being pressured by his council, including war-chief Cameron Mitchell, to marry and produce an heir to prevent his cousin Edward from eventually ascending to the throne. Kroger, who has a love for Earth cinema, decrees his future queen must be from his favorite movie-making sphere, and sends trusted advisors Emo (Barry Gordon) and Zig (Peter Kastner) to California to find his Perfect Woman, Los Angelo Julie (Joanne Nail). Steffens is a reggae historian and "Bob Marley expert" ( according to The Los Angeles Times) who's interviewed the musician's inner circle for research projects. Norton & Company has not returned our message, but we will update this report if that changes, and whether Steffens provides us with any evidence to help investigate this claim.

It was possible, however, someone doing less-formal journalism documented the moment with Marley, and that the database did not include that evidence because of the nature of the reporting.

The portrayal is nearly perfect. Holly is ME! I was Holly! The ONLY wrong note in the whole plot is the silly notion that such an obviously feminine and androphilic (sexually attracted to men) individual would have been drafted and sent to Viet Nam. Yes, many transwomen have served in the military. But if you look at them carefully, you will find that they are universally gynephilic (sexually attracted to women) and are not particularly feminine in behavior or appearance. Like the other commenter, I too was put off when I met transsexuals that made the transition later in life, like those in the support group. They came off as phony and only pretending to be a woman than actually having a natural feel for it. As they said in the movie, I don't think they were 'classic transsexuals' but heterosexual transvestites instead. Maybe why they used male actors. The original play debuted on 11 September 1948 and ran for 224 performances.

I wouldn't usually admit this, but about midway through this movie, I wandered off to watch some random panel show, to remind myself that comedy, even as a concept, still existed. Such is the dire, dated, dismal experience that is The Perfect Woman. Firstly, we searched a database of archives from major news outlets globally for all instances in which journalists used the phrases "Bob Marley" and "perfect woman" in a single issue between 1945 and 1981 (the duration of Marley's life). We found other posts with the same quote. Some also cited Marley, though without any evidence to substantiate whether he actually made the comment, and others circulated the quote without attribution. None of the posts stemmed from reputable media sources, such as published biographies or scholarly articles. Roc made the film after spending several months in Paris, where she made Retour and The Man on the Eiffel Tower. [4] Roc was under contract to J. Arthur Rank at the time. [5] Filming took place in January 1949. The film was shot in 38 days at only three-quarters of its budgeted cost. [6] It was made at Denham Studios with sets designed by James Elder Wills.
