Roger Evan Larry’s “Crossing” (a movie about a crossdressing gangster)
Email This ArticleIn this engaging gender and genre bender,
a cool gangster stumbles upon the thrills
and perils of cross-dressing. After a deathbed
promise to his mob-boss father to take the
family business legit, Daniel discovers that
the only thing standing in his way is his
own secret desire - so secret he barely knows
it himself - to dress like a woman and take
it like a girl. Set up for blackmail by a
rival hood and a camera-wielding hooker, Daniel
is caught in a world of crime and desire,
love and lingerie, where being true to himself
may be the most dangerous choice of them all.
Directed by Roger Evan Larry, 2003, Canada,
114 minutes. Starring Sebastian Spence, Crystal
Buble, Bif Naked, Bernie Coulson and Alan
C. Peterson.

This movie recently played in New York City.
I wanted to go but couldn’t find the time.
In the film universe littered with devastatingly
bad or horribly dull movies about transvestites
(ie. Wong Foo, The Hot Chick, White Chicks),
I’m hoping this one comes through.
Sometimes when you look at the pantheon of
comedies based on transvestites, beginning
with Some Like It Hot, you realize that the
public’s initial response to transvestites
- laughter - is nothing but a conditioned
reflex.
If Pavlov wanted to draw conclusions and
test principles on human behavior, he should
have used sheep instead of dogs.
