| Summary |
P.S. BURN THIS LETTER PLEASE explores a demi-monde that would have been lost to time were it not for the chance find of a treasure trove of letters in a storage bin in LA. Written by drag queens all using aliases to a friend (who turns out to be famous and revealed at the end) who moved to LA, the film is a voyage of discovery of the irreverence, fun, kinship, and all manner of illicit activity which made up the drag scene in the late 50's in NYC. Over several years, the filmmakers pieced together the jigsaw of who the various letters' authors were and matched them with archival material and eventually with current day interviews. The result is a big-hearted, guilty pleasured escape to a bygone era. |
