- Quotes
Narrator: I cannot tell where space ends, and the auditorium walls begin. But, do I really want to know? Something deep from within my very being draws me from this stage... I must see the floors above, to enter into the costume rooms, the scenery rooms, the make-up rooms, all those rooms where one may change his appearance to any character nameable.
[ominous thunderclap]
Narrator: And unnameable.

Featured review
"Final Curtain" is a pilot for a failed TV series from Ed Wood that was assumed lost. However, back in 2012, it was shown at a film festival and since then someone posted it to YouTube.
The film is not as horrible as some of Ed Wood's other productions...not that this is a glowing endorsement. But if you didn't know it was from Wood, you might think it was some art film!
The pilot is much like major portions of "Plan 9 From Outer Space" in that it obviously was shot without sound and to 'cleverly' get past this, there's some ultra-bizarro narration and weird edits. As I said, it seems much more like an art film than anything else....a very BAD art film. Most of it simply consist of a guy in a tux staring about an empty theater as nonsensical narration supposedly tells his increasingly distraught thoughts of terror.
While this is a bad film and it's obvious why the proposed series never was made, for laughs I suggest you show the film (without the opening credits that say it's from Ed Wood) to a pretentious friend. Tell them it's a lost Ingmar Bergman film he made for American TV...and watch them wax philosophical about this great pilot and how it would have changed TV for the better.
Overall, very bad but not nearly as bad as Wood could have done!
