This is the story of how a low-budget Australian film - The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert - changed the course of history, loudly and proudly bringing a celebration of gay culture to the world that continues to resonate 20 years on. Narrated by Terence Stamp, Between a Frock and a Hard Place is also a social history of gay culture in Australia, drawing on footage from the famous movie as well as Sydney in the 80s. A time when the AIDS epidemic had taken hold, this time provided inspiration to director Stephan Elliott, who wanted to tell a story about the world of gay people, celebrating in the face of sadness and fear with flamboyant defiance. Includes interviews with the film’s key players - director Stephan Elliott, actors Terence Stamp, Guy Pearce and Hugo Weaving, and the creative team, as well as drag artists and members of the gay community.

I was the assistant manager at the Bridge Theater in SF where Priscilla opened in 1994 and played for, I think, 10 months. For the first two months every show was sold out, 5 shows a day, 7 days a week and we had to turn people away. I remember threading up that 35mm projector with the ritualistic care of Buddhist monk and starting the film feeling the palpable excitement of the 400+ new viewers who were about to have their minds blown. The color! The music! I I would slip into the theater to check the focus, timing it perfectly with each of the great songs, and it never once got old.

Never in a million years I would have thought that a documentary about drag would move me, it is such a foreign reality for me, but it not only moved me, it had me in tears several times! The level of understanding, love, empathy that humans are capable of is something we often forget due to the horrors we see happening in the world right now, wars, famine, plagues, you name it, and here you see cops marching along drag queens! That was one of the most emotional scenes of this documentary. Thank you for this, this is real education, life education.

I got it as soon as it came out on VHS, then DVD, and have it on my Plex. As a cis woman I turned my husband on to it when me met and he loves it too. We watch it at least once a year. I grew up in the 70s and 80s US and remember those times. Sad to see our country back slide. We need to pick up the gauntlet and get back on track for equality and rights for everyone.

Getting Priscilla made was a true labor of love for everyone involved. And I've always had the utmost respect for Hugo, Guy and Terence for taking on these roles. Yes, they played them for laughs, but they also filled them with heart which made us love them all the more. The music was great mixing gay classics like ABBA with soon to be gay classics like Finally. And the costumes were simply fabulous; the creativity and artistry made each of the performance scenes a joyful experience. There will never be another movie like Priscilla, it stands alone as an icon of gay cinema that made a real and significant difference in Australia and the world.

I remember seeing Priscilla in a theater filled with gay men in Hillcrest, San Diego's gay ghetto when it first came out, right after I came out. It was raucous, colorful, filled with the music of Abba-which I had never listened to as I was a punk rocker-but what I remember most was its great big, glitter covered heart.

This movie was ahead of its time. I recall watching it as a kid and my parents worrying it was going to "Corrupt me" so they told me I was not allowed to watch it anymore. I never understood this? why? So odd I thought..because I was allowed to watch movies like... Robocop, Aliens, and predator. you know? Movies that were guilty of violence and stuff. This movie was innocent. and resonated as fun. Simply guilty of existing I guess? Back then I never saw anything like it before. In any event- Its still a Gem to this day.

Priscilla was the first gay movie I watched. It happened at a time where my church had split, most of the congregation had been excommunicated, and most of the people I was closest to were able to be rejoined, but I was left behind as an undesirable for no apparent reason I could figure. I found myself to be psychologically alone at that point. I was at college, living alone in an apartment, my family 4 hours away, and it was a rough time. In many ways, I identified with Mitsy, feeling like I lived in separate worlds that were about to collide and feeling petrified about it. Priscilla kept me grounded. I remember just how much I was struggling and seeing this movie showing that even through the worst, there is hope. Things can get better. I had to go out and buy a copy to rewatch the movie several times. Each time, I felt better about my situation. It helped me through.

The Drag Queens who had adopted me calling me their little churchy girl as they helped me explore my bisexuality and we watched this movie at least once a month getting ready for a night out. Steeled my resolve to fight for our rights, steeled my resolve to leave the church that hated me so much. Let me see the beauty and humour in our community. I love getting to hear the background of where this came from. Soul touching

I always knew that I'm different since primary school and I enjoyed music and especially musical movies. Then come the year 1994 I was in secondary school and having my first day of final exam at that time. After exam I went to the city to buy stationary stuff and when I pass the cinema there's a huge poster of Priscilla, Queen of The Desert showing and I still remember I've seen few clips of the movie in a TV program Cinema, Cinema, Cinema. I directly go see if the movie available during that hour and guess what? The movie next show is around 15 minutes and without any hesitation I get myself a ticket (popcorn/drink) and I'm hooked. Watching the movie for 3 days in a row.. And because loving the movie so much I end up being a proud Drag Queen performer myself.. Being a Drag Queen is kinda easy for me coz my love for music and pop culture. And until this day I consider myself as an old school type of drag performer.. Thank you Priscilla, I wouldn't be who I am now if it's not because of you.. Hugs & Kisses!!...

Traveling in Southern Italy in 1995, one of the stops for me and my husband was a tiny village that was the hometown of my great-grandparents. I was the first descendant to return in a hundred years. My extended Italian family signaled their complete acceptance of our relationship by going on and on about how much they loved "Priscilla, La Reina de la Desert." (And, yes, that is how it was said.) The village was so small, they traveled 35 miles to the nearest movie theater to see it. It took a few minutes to figure it out as my Neapolitan language skills were not the best and my cousins' English skills did not cover the topic very well!

My mum lived in Kings Cross in the mid 70's (before I was born) and flatted with a couple of drag queens. Watching the footage of Sydney in the 70s, knowing she'd have been at some of those shows, that she'd have been going to some of those parties, that she saw this culture with her own eyes, makes me feel closer to her somehow. She loved the movie, we saw it at the movies together twice, now I see why it was so real for her; she was there, she lived within the culture. She loved the culture. She often spoke about her "beautiful drag queens", I still have some photos of them! I wish I knew their names and could look them up.

It personified my own experience, returning home to rural Oregon, albeit not in drag, but sure of myself, thanks to these frocked out heroes.

Nobody *actually* knows how much Priscilla, Queen of the Desert changed the world unless you were there, in the thick of it, going to the house parties, bars and clubs, knew the people that it was based on, knew people who were in it, and knew the people who worked on it and where all the visual queues and verbal references came from. Our lives were on the big screen, for the world to see, and for the first time we felt validated. People can study it as much as they like and analyze it and comment on it but they will never understand that because they weren't there.

So many experiences I and of course others have lived trough like the humiliation in public, by family membres and even parents. I had no idea, that Australia was more homophobic in the 70ies and 80ies than Germany. Must be the strong link to GB with similar laws back then. But I have seen so much of my own life in it, I was able to relate immediately when sitting in the cinema. Wonderful documentary of one of my favourite movies!!

Priscilla is a brilliant movie - hilarious at times, but also full of profound undertones. The actors are splendid, with a special mention to Terence Stamp who portrayed a trans woman in the most humane and respectful way. Bill Hunter's performance also deserves accalaim - I also loved him in Muriel's Wedding, another landmark of the Australian cinema. I won't talk about the photography and the costumes, they were praised and it was fully deserved. All together, this movie is a gem and belongs to the best that the cinema industry made : it's a road movie, it's a comedy and a drama, it's a musical and a visual exploit. A rare piece of art.

A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze, And starts for the blue ocean. She is an object of beauty and strength; And I stand and watch her, Until at length, she hangs like a speck of white cloud Just where the sea and sky Come down to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says “There, she’s gone!” Gone where? Gone from my sight - that is all. She is just as large in mast and hull and spar As she was when she left my side. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And there are other eyes watching her coming, And other voices ready to take up the glad shout “There she comes.” I hope you find peace.❤

SPLENDID . . . Really enjoyed your documentary as much as Priscilla when it came out. Terrance is a GREAT narrator and an amazing actor & he didn't look "like an old dog" he was completely in his element & believable -- impressive & gorgeous. Thank you . . . You made me laugh,smile & cry👏

This is a brilliant documentary. Interesting in-site to how Priscilla came about and how it helped to inspire change.

Thank you SO much for putting this up and producing it. I only saw Priscilla a few years ago, but it is now in my library of go-tos whenever I need a laugh or am feeling down. Admittedly, I also pop on To Wong Foo (there is a great documentary about the back story of that as well) and the Birdcage. Thank you so much to the original cast and crew and for everyone that supported this movement. Much love from Colorado in the US

Very moving. I grew up with Priscilla and adored the film. It would take almost another 10 years before I came out myself. Everything needs its time and place. Thank you for creating this masterpiece. ❤

I love this movie. The opera scene atop the bus was really magical.

This might be one of the best videos in KZfaq. A wonderful movie, a WONDERFUL documentary and a very important part of history, not just in Australia but the world.

My 90s teenage gay boy self finding his way in the humdrum conservative suburbs of South Africa thanks all who made this film that for me shone like a brilliant beacon of hope, community, strength, pathos, and possibility on a hill

I remember getting the dvd at 12, used to watch it again and again till I even wore the dvd out. Was one of my most instrumental pieces of media in my young teenage years and had such great memories of watching it with my Nan. Helped me realised my own gender and sexuality.

An intensely powerful cast of actors and talent in the film, that when I first saw in in the 90's, it has stayed with me forever as a favorite. BUT to now know SOOO much more about it is BRILLIANT!! Thank you!!

I'm seriously crying. This was absolutely beautiful and insightful. Thank you all for making Priscilla, it gave me the girl power I needed during a time when Pamela Anderson was all the rage.
