Just in time for Pride Month, a never-before-seen clip of Drag icon Divine playing teenage delinquent Dawn Davenport in John Waters‘ Female Trouble, and throwing a new TANTRUM! It comes as Criterion announces a new release of the film:
The Criterion release will include a 4K restoration of the film and bonus features such as on-set footage, and new and archival interviews with Dreamlanders and crew members like Mink Stole, Pat Moran, Vincent Peranio, Susan Lowe, Mary Vivian Pearce, and more. Both the Blu-ray and DVD editions will go on sale June 26.
How fun! Check out the footage above!
LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DIVINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love.
Gawd, I love and miss Divine. Her tantrum actually happens later in the film on Christmas Day when she did not get her Cha-Cha heels. That scene is hysterical! I love the missing scene, but is way away from a tantrum. Somebody needs to really watch the movie…
The real tantrum scene from youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpYTkavEt20
Outstanding but just a lead up to Divine’S preeminent Christmas Morning scene wherein Dawn doesn’t get what she wants.
Lame! No wonder it was cut.
