Description
Flaming Classics Queering the Film Canon offers fresh and provocative readings of six iconic films. Alexander Doty challenges traditional critical approaches by exploring the queer potential in these cinematic classics.
Through his analysis, Doty reveals the lesbian fantasy in The Wizard of Oz, the gay undertones in The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and the bisexual undertones in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. He also examines the queerness of Norman Bates and makes a compelling argument about Citizen Kane's enigmatic final word.
