This my Another Transgender Woman Movies Review The Christine Jorgensen Story is a 1970 American drama film and a fictionalized biographical film about trans woman named Christine Jorgensen. While the overall premise of the film is accurate, many of the details are fictionalized for the continuity of the film. It was directed by Irving Rapper and based on Christine Jorgensen's autobiography. A film based on the book was proposed in 1960. Edward Small bought the film rights in 1968. Jorgensen later claimed under the contract she would be entitled to 10% of the gross and 3.5% of the budget."Every female impersonator in the world came flying into Hollywood demanding he was Christine", said Jorgensen later. George/Christine is played by John Hansen. Irving Rapper said Small gave him the job as director because it required someone who had sensitivity. Reviews were mixed.
