Quentin Crisp(1970)

Quentin Crisp Synopsis

Five years before the TV adaptation of The Naked Civil Servant made him a household name, Quentin Crisp - dandy, raconteur, life model and former prostitute - welcomed celebrated filmmaker Denis Mitchell into his dusty London bedsit. Crisp recalls the violence and fascination his extraordinary appearance once provoked, offers tips on avoiding housework and subsisting on a diet of stout and meal replacement powder, and ruminates on life as a "minority within a minority - an effeminate homosexual".

Quentin Crisp (1970) is a documentary film directed by Denis Mitchell, released on January 1, 1970 with a runtime of 27m. It stars Quentin Crisp.
