In this film, Mink Stole steps out of Divine's shadow and glistens like the star she is. It also gave John Waters the benefit of showing he wasn't dependent on having Divine in a film, for the first time.

Mink Stole should've been the lead role of more dark comedic films, but unfortunately this work of cinematic "trash" (meant in the best possible way!) stands alone.

I love this movie, and show it to people who aren't quite ready for something as obscene as Pink Flamingos, but still want to see John Waters at his best.
