for the other anon looking for queer/queercoded themes in old movies may i also say: thats my wife (1929), some like it hot (1959), adam is eve (1954), i dont want to be a man (1918, available in full on its own wikipedia page), and the gay deceivers (1969, you may have seen the "i may not know my flowers but i know a BITCH when i see one!" clip before)? these are specifically comedies/lighthearted stories i remember from the hotvintage time period, but wikipedia has a fairly comprehensive lgbt films by year page if you wanted to explore more varied genres (i will also always recommend victor/victoria (1982) but thats obviously outside the timeline... *but* the original film it was based on was 1933 (viktor und viktoria) with remakes in 1934 (george and georgette), 1935 (first a girl), and 1957 (victor und victoria) none of which ive seen myself so i cant directly recommend them)
I haven’t seen some of these but I ABSOLUTELY second the rec for Victor/Victoria (1982)—a beautiful twirly genderbendy musicale with Julie Andrews and Robert Preston
