Before RuPaul, there was Alice—serving Eve realness on a shoestring.

Programmer's Pick

All About Alice takes the legendary drama All About Eve and gives it a low-budget, high-camp makeover with drag, parody, and plenty of male nudity. Christopher Morley leads the charge as Alice Barrington, surrounded by a cast more interested in laughs than subtlety. Fans of early LGBT cinema and parody will find this a rare, cheeky artifact.
