Female Trouble Movie Review Summary

Actors: Divine, David Lochary, Mary Vivian Pearce, Mink Stole, Edith Massey

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Female Trouble


In this early John Waters film, an enormous transvestite named Divine plays Dawn Davenport, a high school girl who runs away from home due solely to her parents' refusal to buy her cha-cha heels. She journeys to the city, and is raped and impregnated en route. The film hilariously and disgustingly recounts her exploits, as she becomes a thief, an inept mother who will not allow her daughter out of the house, and a test victim for two deranged owners of a beauty salon.
