Oh, to love and lose! To love and lose again!

Divine stars in this John Waters films about deception and betrayal. What at first may seem like the perfect suburban family (Mom has a strange addiction to air freshener, Dad runs a dirty movie theater, sis dates a punk and junior has a foot fetish) turns out to be mired in deception and betrayal! Concerned citizens are picketing on the front lawn! And the mysterious Baltimore Stomper is attacking the feet of women all over town! Even Francine’s own husband is having an affair, which he sees no reason to hide.

Just as things look their worst, Francine’s life starts to turn around. Then things look their worst again. Even the poodle attempts suicide. What’s a girl to do? The only thing holding Francine together is her fantastic sense of smell– a little can of Glade can do wonders sometimes.

The formidable Edith Massey makes an appearance as Cuddles, Francine’s cleaning-lady-turned millionaire, and Tab Hunter co-stars as her two-timing boyfriend. Even Bill Murray sings the closing theme. It doesn’t get much better than that. There’s even a shocking macrame strangling scene.
