Matthew, this is an absolute masterpiece of movie reviewing !!!
And that gorgeous shot of the full moon over the Grand Illusion (with the phallic collapsed umbrella, how Ă propos!)
Dan Savage, hire this guy!
The actor playing Clitoris is the amazing comedian Brother Theodore. I grew up listening to his comedy albums. That style of crazy ranting was his schtick. Check him out on Youtube. He was a genius.
@11 I saw the documentary and agree that it was, at best, dissapointing. I'd like to see a better film about him. He was a complicated and interesting man.

Do they have a crusty old "Sea Hand" who recounts the horror (pleasure) of him and his Navy "seamen" being "blown in the water" during WWII.
Also, the actor playing Clitoris was really into his part. Really.
