Notes
Another John Waters classic -- John Waters films are a genre unto thermselves -- Said to be a comic satire on suburban living, or at least of the stereotyped suburbs of Waters imagination --
I saw it without using the "Odorama" card provided with the DVD (saving it for a special occasion) -- Film was especially interesting because of Tab Hunter's appearance (he was a heart-throb of my boyhood, see Tab Hunter Confidential, maybe even my deficient gaydar was working as a 15-year old back then? ) -- and of course Devine.
