Format:VHS Tape
A classic. A real laugh. Basic humour and not high budget but anyone who likes a western comedy should own this. Divine...we miss you!

Chile Verde Revisited
2 April 2001
Format:DVD
Being a huge fan of late greats Divine and Paul Bartel, I've been a fan of this film for many years. I just purchased the DVD edition of this film and was pleasantly surprised by the packaging and information on this disk. The menus are adorned with huge, scary close-ups of Divine's face with the Lust in the Dust theme song playing over the menu selections. It's pretty great! But, best of all, is the 16 minute featurette, More Lust Less Dust which features interviews with stars Tab Hunter and Lainie Kazan as well as other people related with the project. They talk about the fun atmosphere and location shooting (highlighted with stills and home movies) and feature many rare images of Divine and Bartel. The most interesting aspect in the documentary was the discussion of how they wanted to keep the film from being a "John Waters film without John Waters" and the very surprising footage of Edith Massey's screen test for the film! Ultimately, she wasn't used. All in all, a great and funny disc (and at times a touching tribute) that wonderfully displays many of the talents of these two talented (and underestimated) men; Divine and Paul Bartel. We will miss them!

My idea of side splitting funny material......
6 May 2004
Format:DVD
But that's because I happen to think you can't get much funnier than casting a very overweight white male (who thinks he's a female) as a side-saddle burro riding Mexican plus sized siren named Rosie Velez, who is on her way to the dusty desert town of Chile Verde. Miss Kazan, one of moviedoms most underrated comedic actress', shines with her usual brilliance. Definately one of my personal top ten rated comedy pictures of all time. Which means it's right up there with "Some Like it Hot" "Dinner at Eight" and "It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World".

Cat fight in a one dog town
9 April 1999
I first saw this on the big screen. It was funny then and it is funny on the video screen. A spoof of the Clint Eastwood save-the-fair-maiden from the bad guys medium sized epics. Geoffrey Lewis is a good bad guy. Lanie Kazan is excellent as the tough girl who fights mano a mano with our heroine the petite-plus Devine. Cesar Romero has almost as much fun being serious as when he was The Joker. And, there is dust and occassional lust and a town that looks like it needs The Magnificent Seven. I still enjoy seeing this one at least once a year. It is a good choice for college age types who don't want to think too hard after a tough exam. If you like this one, be sure to catch Tab and Devine in Polyster and Devine in Hairspray.
