The Haunted World of Ed Wood Jr. [1hr 52mn. From YouTube Movies. Previously]

From IMDB: "Produced by Ed Wood's former business partner, "The Haunted World of Ed Wood, Jr" is a compilation of people who knew Ed Wood, either personally or professionally, discussing various elements of his personality. The interview segments are spliced with revealing clips from his films, including clips from: "Bride of the Atom", "Glen or Glenda", and "Plan 9 From Outer Space". Different people being interviewed see Ed Wood from unique perspectives. These perspectives range from adoration, to contempt, to pity, to adulation. The interviews reveal as much about the cast as they do about Ed Wood. Also contains footage of Ed Wood's first TV commercial and unreleased short productions including "Crossroads of Laredo" and another 5 minute western originally meant to be a home movie. In the end, this low-budget movie stays true to Ed Wood's heart, and gives a both a devoted fan or just a curious onlooker very personal insights into this complicated man."

This seems like a good time to ask why longer videos on YT frequently get out of sync with the soundtrack. Is there anything that can be done to sync things back up? I really want to watch this thing in sync!

You may still be able to find this on DVD - I got a copy that came with a Ed Wood box set I got a few years back...
