P.S. Burn This Letter Please is a 2020 documentary film about gay life in New York City among 1950s drag queens.[1][2] The title is taken verbatim from a letter recounting the autumn 1958 theft of 33 luxurious wigs from the Metropolitan Opera House.[3] The film is based on a trove of correspondence found in a storage unit in 2014, and includes archival footage of cross-dressing balls.[4]
