Female trouble (1974) John Waters , dance in the street scene

[@veronicaave4787]

I love the way divine dresses all her clothes were iconic

[@renesagahon4477]

The background music and singing plus the dancing is perfect and ahead of its time for when this was made and gets better with age

[@jaredleemease]

Oh my goodness, your majesty..it’s your favorite part! 🏜🕺🏻🐕🏖

[@jessicaersomething]

The best walk in the entire history of cinema

[@thefabulousthomasj]

Whenever I see reality stars, especially the Kardashians, I think of this movie! John Waters was ahead of his time.

[@MerleOberon]

+thefabulousthomasj Back in the 70s, this was shown at midnight movies, today it's everywhere.

These characters are far more realistic than the Kartrashians.

The girls in this movie were wholesome compared to the Kartrashians.

John Waters - national treasure

[@paulcousino8773]

John Waters is a genius for casting Devine.

[@tiger1044]

"Casting" Divine? Divine was THE STAR in all John's films.

[@odiug95]

According to John Waters, the scene with Divine walking down the street was inspired by Coca Sarli's film Fuego, where her character walked the streets of New York while being secretly filmed. A similar scene also took place in Pink Flamingos.

[@johnhaggard]

The Greatest Movie Ever Made!

[@edshoaff3055]

There’s a party going on in Divine’s head when you see her dancing down the street like that. There used to be a guy who hung out on Castro Street dressed exactly like her and had the makeup & hair exactly like Divine…..it was a treat to see him !

[@sexobscura]

*I had some orally earlier*

[@Xnewyork2]

that part where the guy's eye falls out... absolutely priceless

[@AliceBowie]

It always looks like Stephen King to me.

[@jaengen]

Dawn was such a wholesome, all American girl. Every parents dream!

[@jeremyripton]

I remember reading about how wierd that street walking scene was in Baltimore....Divine had to just get out of the car...and go for it.......lol

[@allengumm1157]

"Come right on in, Dawn!" I'm sorry I can't think of his name at the moment, but I love that actor. He's so affirming! May he rest in peace.

[@stellastellub]

david lochary! :)

[@alexandrosmartinez508]

David was going to be in Desperate Living, but he was on PCP at the time of production. He accidentally killed himself on said drug months after the movie was released.

[@retrogal96]

this scene makes me happy and laugh all the time!!:)

[@Dan-nt2yb]

Too funny for words.😄👍🏾👍🏾

[@tjames9698]

This was an extended scene. They didn’t have the dialog about the pics in the original showing.

[@alexandrosmartinez508]

I wish I got to see the shortened version of this film, to see what it was like before an uncut release was released in 1999.

[@hebneh]

Literally an "eye-popping" sight.

[@jesusnodal8948]

Real drag queen Divine!!! Before there was Rupaul, there was Divine setting the world on fire.!!!

[@shtl394]

The best part was this scene was followed a fairly "traumatic" scene of Taffy killing her father and hysterically crying. The total tone change hit me the first time I saw it and I still think about it today.

[@SFPsychoDane]

the song is Dig by Nervous Norvus

I like how the black people just look at her in a semi-state of shock! And the little old lady sitting on the bench probably had a near heart attack!

Who sings this Dig song?

[@shelldaniel6412]

swtv1754 It’s Nervous Norvus an old rockabilly singer. I’m so amused and fascinated by it. tried to get it on Apple Music, they had him,but not that song, so aggravating. So I searched for him on KZbin and you can hear the whole song!

[@halguy5745]

ooooOOOoo little mascara brushes!

[@anthonyL1995]

I really wonder what the world would have been like had people like Divine lived? Or other LGBT icons gone too soon? If not for Divine then Rupaul would never have been able to exist. Divine (and John Waters) beat that door with a hammer that Rupaul went charging out of. Yes, there were famous drag queens of the past but they were "female impersonators" and were forced to keep their sexuality separate from their acts in order to appease the older rich straight people who would go to see them. It was ok to be entertained so long as you weren't trying to "turn" anyone on to your "lifestyle."

[@zcosmos9]

[@Starkardur]

John waters said this scene failed because nobody was staring

[@Starkardur]

The reason may have been because Divine had scars (fake ones) on her face. People felt bad looking staring at someone because of it and avoided it - at least according to John Waters.

[@dg7438]

they look starey eyed to me

[@nassauguy48]

It was inner city Baltimore, they saw stuff like that every day!

[@danlarson4513]

Devine a more full figured version of Tina Turners What's Love got to do with it video

[@ExoticalT369]

...The reason that "Divine" is so believable as a woman is because lots of actual females are shaped like her. No "shade", I'm just saying. *Giggling* :D
