Impostors

Streaming video - 1979

A polysexual vaudeville playing promiscuously with melodramatic intrigue, camp and intellectual gamesmanship, IMPOSTORS remains as unclassifiable as it was in 1979.. Its slippery "plot" centers on the romance between besotted Peter and elusive Tina. She's a faithless bisexual and beauteous onstage assistant to lookalike magicians Mikey and Chuckie (stage legend Charles Ludlam of Manhattan's Ridiculous Theatrical Company) who, for their part, inhabit opposite poles of the Kinsey Scale. They've also purportedly left behind a swath of murder victims "as wide as the Nile,” mysterious bits of Egyptology, including Filmclips from THE MUMMY, also figures here.
