This is Waters' second full length feature, and his first with sound. Very rough. It's mostly Waters' ongoing attempt at learning how to make movies. I suppose he learned a lot from this one cuz his next was Pink Flamingos. But yeah. I believe the Manson family got caught during the filming of this movie.
The travelling sideshow 'Lady Divine's Cavalcade of Perversions' is actually a front for a group of psychotic kidnappers, with Lady Divine herself the most vicious and depraved of all, but her life changes after she gets raped by a 15-foot lobster.
