As far as I can determine, Pink Narcissus is the only film James Bidgood ever directed -- After some seven years of filming, with no end in sight, the producers and backers apparently took the raw footage from him and they themselves finished it -- as a protest, Bidgood refused to have his name included in the credits when first released, and was instead listed as "Anonomous" -- Nevertheless, as it has now been remastered, it is a beautiful homo-erotic masterpiece -- Bidgood, at the time of filming (late 1960s-1971) was a still photographer and window dresser -- His sets are filled with color and framed as in a store window -- and the luscious actors are carefully staged with the eye of a photographer -- The story line is that of a prostitute's fantasies and dreams -- Some of the scenes were quite humorous, especially as I today recall gay culture of the time --
