The Charles Pierce Review

1970, dir. Les Natali


“Charles Pierce is the world's greatest female impersonator!" - S.F. Chronicle

Originally packaged with Mike Thomas’s The Meat/Rack, this thirty-minute short film presents a staged version of drag legend and self-proclaimed “male actress” Charles Pierce’s live comedy and music revue. Besides being wickedly funny, The Charles Pierce Review provides a fascinating glimpse into 60s/70s drag culture and is an all-too-rare document of one of the era’s greatest performers at his absolute peak.

New restoration by Distribpix and Vinegar Syndrome.

The Charles Pierce Review is offered gratis with bookings of The Meat/Rack, and is also available on its own.
