Product Description
The Legendary Cult Classic! Welcome to Chile Verde, a REALLY wild western town steeped in rumours of a buried fortune in gold. Drawn into a tangled web of greed, passion and yet more greed are voluptuous singer Rosie Velez (Divine) and lone gunfighter Abel Wood (Tab Hunter). Helped and hindered by saloon owner Marguerita Ventura (Lainie Kazan) and pursued by outlaw Hard Case Williams (Geoffrey Lewis) and his gang, the hapless treasure hunters try to decipher the limerick and locate the two halves of the map that will lead them to their destiny. The only problem being that to find the map means going far further south of the border than anyone anticipated! Co-starring Cesar Romero, Henry Silva, Woody Strode and directed by Paul Bartel (Eating Raoul, Death Race 2000), this hilarious comedy spoof western truly sizzles under the hot desert sun.

I love this film. I showed "Lust In The Dust" in my own cinema on its release in 1985 on a double bill with "Body Double" What a long programme !!! Not everyones cup of tea, but I found the film hilarious and never tire of watching it again. Like all Divine films they stand the test of being able to re-watch. I must state that not everyone was as enthusiatic about the film as I was. When part of a tresure map is found on the backside of none other than Divine, then the hunt is on to find the other half. This comedy western then travels to a sleepy town called Chile Verde (which means green chilli for those who dont speak Spanish) and the utterly ridiculous turns comically corrupt. The film is deliciously distasteful fun and features Divine singing a bawdy love song. There is a brilliant supporting caste with Tab Hunter, Lainie Kazan, Geoffrey Lewis, Henry Silva and Cesar Romero. This is one of the films Divine did away from John Walters (in fact it was directed by Paul Bartel) it would have been interesting to see what John Walters would have done with this. No doubt Mink Stole would have have been somewhere in there and Edith Massey did audition for the part of the old saloon gal who want to go to Abilene, but was too ill to appear.

Of all the movies that the late Divine made, this one is my favourite. Although John Waters had nothing to do with this one [Tab Hunter was mainly responsible] it plays as well as Waters' Polyester [DVD] which also features Tab Hunter, so maybe Tab picked up a few hints:) The script is basically a good old fashioned Cowboy Movie of the Clint Eastwood sort [basically this is a re-write of Clint's spaghetti westerns], with not as many twists as you might expect... maybe a bit more 'adult' humour than a John Wayne movie. Divine is in great form, and clearly having a ball playing the distraught heroine, Hunter is the Eastwood clone, and a very sultry job he makes of it too. The rest of the cast are clearly in on the joke, and all seem to be having a ball in the desert. As a movie, it plays well, gallops along and plenty of gags. As a Divine vehicle, it was his last movie, and to me it was his best of the mainstream movies Polyester, Hairspray [DVD] although I doubt if Divine would ever have been accepted fully as a mainstream artist. Then again, that's why his fans love him, because he was outside of all that [although he wanted to be accepted, and to be taken 'seriously as an actor'] Anyway, this is a great old romp, Divine's 'singing' in the movie is worth the admission alone:)

This is a poorly produced - or at least a very low budget film which kind of mixes the delights of the baked bean farting scene from "Paint your Wagon" with the naughtiness of John Waters. Actually I would say it is less offensive than the John Waters films made with Divine (leading star of this production). More Benny Hill meets John Inman and Hattie Jacques in the OK Coral.
