Engaging feminist and queer theory ranging from Nancy Chodorow to Judith Butler to Valerie Solanis's SCUM Manifesto, Straayer considers the wealth of films made by and for nontraditional viewers. Straayer investigation ranges from Stella Dallas to Mrs. Doubtfire, "experimental" lesbian and gay films from the classic Maedchen in Uniform to the contemporary Go Fish, and music video icons such as David Bowie, Dead or Alive, and Divine to investigate transgressions of traditional gender boundaries.

In the course of this fascinating, polemical book . . . [Straayer] writes interestingly about such films as Some Like It Hot, Victor / Victoria, Adoption, and Orlando and about a number of experimental films. . . . Informative, challenging, thought-provoking, and perhaps unsettling.
