Yet, the Marbles do whatever they can to try and humiliate Divine and her family but are unaware that Divine can do much worse. Notably as this couple in Connie and Raymond Marbles (Mink Stole and David Lochary, respectively) are appalled by the antics of Divine aka Babs Johnson (Divine) who does disgusting things but not into the realm of something evil that the Marbles do as they kidnap young women for their servant Channing (Channing Wilroy) to rape and impregnate so they can sell babies to lesbian couples. It’s a film that doesn’t have much of a plot as it plays into the exploits of this drag queen who lives in a trailer under an alias with her mentally ill mother, a delinquent son, and her traveling companion as they do gross things while pushing the boundaries of what is obscene as John Waters’ screenplay isn’t just this study of filth but also what a few people will do to outdo the ideas of filth. The film revolves around a feud over the idea of who is the filthiest person in the world as a drag queen was given that title by a local tabloid which upsets a couple who wants to that title. Pink Flamingos is a grotesque, revolting, and hilarious film from John Waters.
Starring Divine, Edith Massey, Mary Vivian Pierce, David Lochary, Mink Stole, and Danny Mills. The film is an exploitation and offbeat comedy that explores the idea of what is obscene as it is more of an exercise in poor taste as it confronts the idea of how much filth someone can take. Written, directed, shot, edited, and narrated by John Waters, Pink Flamingos is the story of a criminal who proclaims herself to be the filthiest person alive as she is confronted by a couple of other criminals who want to out-do her in terms of filth.
