And, if it doesn't scare you too much, try another one of Divine's films, such as "Hairspray" (the original) or perhaps "Polyester". My attitude is that lovers of weird films should see this at least once. There are a reasonable amount of decent laughs, some that fall flat and a few surprises-but it never is dull. Nothing in it is super remarkable except for its strong sexual overtones as well as having Divine play a part that is really pretty normal. "Lust in the Dust" is a gentle parody of westerns. The film was directed by Paul Bartel-a man who is probably most associated with the ultra-strange "Eating Raoul". In addition, Divine, Lainie Kazan, Caesar Romero, Henry Silva, Woody Strode and Geoffrey Lewis (whose face you are bound to recognize) are there for excellent support. The film stars a whole lot of familiar faces, though the only big star (at least once upon a time) in the film is Tab Hunter. The way to determine this is to ask yourself "am I normal?"-if so, don't watch the film! But for all the quirky folks out there (and I know there are a lotta you), it's worth seeing. Apparently gay men love it (according to Lainie Kazan) and people who love Divine (like me) will get a kick out of seeing this character play a somewhat normal role-at least compared to all the freaks he/she played for John Waters!! But for the rest of the folks out there, it's very possible you won't like the film.and it's quite possible you'll enjoy it on its own very simple merits. This is NOT the sort of film for everyone. Reviewed by MartinHafer 6 / 10 While far from a must-see, this is a cute little film.
