Honey I've been loving this since the 70's. Now watch Pink Flamingos.

There have been many threads about this film, here. Female Trouble, for me, is among the top three cinema comedies. The other two being It's a Gift and The Producers <1968>. Pink Flamingos' script isn't even in the same league, imo.

This is so wierd- I was watching this yesterday in my flu drug induced stupour.
I love the skipping rope scene-
"CAN'T YOU JUST STARE OUT INTO THE AIR? ISN'T THAT ENOUGH?"

I like FEMALE TROUBLE a lot, I think it is probably Waters' best film. Divine was a great star, a shame she had to leave us so early.

Waters has stated that this was his favorite film and I agree. Just about any line is instantly quotable and how great is Mink Stole as the irrepressable Taffy?
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

"I'm afraid there's not enough for you, Taffy, how about some toast?"
"I'm going to Detroit to find happiness in the auto in-dus-try."

Just wondering if you read this thread. I quoted the toast line several posts above

Yes, I had noticed that, but I forgot it in the great mad rush of FEMALE TROUBLE quotes that flooded my brain.
Congratulations to you for being the first to post the toast line. No, really. Congratulations.

thanks, folkyboy. I didn't mean harm. That's why I included a smiley face. I also know that many people don't read a thread, but simply add what they want to it.
I know better not to ask now, though.

Dawn - "I was NOT eating!"
Teacher - "From the looks of things Dawn Davenport, you never stopped eating"
Amy Winehouse totally stole Dawn Davenports looks. I love when she steals that steak. I also love the smoking girls in the new "Hairspray" movie a really nice nod.

Wink: I'm getting a hard-on! Beauty always gives me a hard-on!
Donna Dasher: Aim it the other way then, Wink. You know how I detest organs. Beauty has absolutely nothing to do with that WORD, that THING you have hanging there like an obscene pickle. Spare me your anatomy.
