Review of Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains (1982) by Kris W — 13 Dec 2010

"She can't fool all the fans all of the time ...".

"These Girls Created Themselves".

Diane Lane and Laura Dern play punk girls in their own band that has a minute of success. Ray Winstone is the lead singer of a British punk band, backed by the Sex Pistols Steve Jones and Paul Cook on guitar and drums, and The Clash's Paul Simonon on bass. The lead singer of The Tubes also appears as the frontman of a band. Good soundtrack too.

Diane Lane was 17 and Laura Dern eas only 15 when it was released, and it was released about 2 years after it was filmed.
