CAST: Dick Burns, Alice Friedland & George Black

This is it! Cult movie auteur Ed Wood Jr.’s (Plan 9 from Outer Space) very last film as writer-director. The Young Marrieds (1972) is also one of the rarest lost movies in cult filmdom—so rare it wasn’t even known for sure it existed. But finally a print of Ed Wood s last 16mm masterpiece surfaced, and After Hours Cinema is proud to present this extraordinary feature in a revealing DVD collection of Wood’s declining years toiling in the adult movie industry of Los Angeles. The Young Marrieds is both a step deeper into the adult film world Ed Wood helped pioneer and, at the same time, hearkens back to Wood’s very first feature, the infamous Glen or Glenda (1953) and its plea for tolerance of alternate sexual lifestyles and identities. Sporting numerous prop items from Wood’s Necromania (1971) but trading it’s softcore-with-inserts format for full hardcore, The Young Marrieds will both shock and fascinate the millions of Wood fans around the world.
