Female Trouble

Synopsis:

The life and times of Dawn Davenport, showing her progress from loving schoolgirl to crazed mass murderer – all of which stems from her parents’ refusal to buy her cha-cha heels for Christmas. She runs away from home, is raped, becomes a single mother, criminal and glamorous model before her inevitable rendezvous with the electric chair…

Quick Thoughts:

For those who are not already avid fans of John Walters, “Female Trouble” is the queer film that helped land Walters as a queer legend of cinema. From the iconic Divine to the fabulous Mink Stole, the cast is incredible. As for the actual story of this queer film, it’s a bit out there. But again, that’s exactly what you expect. But despite the crime spree that Dawn Davenport embarks on, “Female Trouble” is better known for the iconic Christmas scene when young Dawn throws a tantrum because she did not get her cha-cha shoes! Even though it’s not really a queer Christmas film, “Female Trouble” is a cult classic that you must watch at least once in your life!
