Product Description
Director John Waters broke new boundaries of bad taste with this hilariously trashy tale of suburban misadventure. His favorite leading lady, transvestite Divine, plays Francine Fishpaw, a dissatisfied suburban housefrau who longs for a little romance in her life because her husband and children drive her crazy. Salvation arrives in the form of Tod Tomorrow (Tab Hunter), a drive-in owner who sweeps Francine off her feet (a mean task, given Divine's girth). But he's not all he's cracked up to be. Filmed in the miracle of Odorama, video viewers now have to imagine the scents (actually, odors) that came on the Odorama scratch-and-sniff card during the film's theatrical release. It won't be too hard. --Marshall Fine

Customer Reviews
Includes Odorama!Review by David J. Turner, 2010-04-17
For fans of John Waters and Divine comes 'Polyester', as the case describes to be "a delirious soap opera". The DVD is in widescreen and includes a commentary by John Waters, as well as a scratch and sniff card, because that was a gimmick of this movie: at certain scenes, a number flashes on screen and you scratch the number and sniff. So yeah, they've got a scratch and sniff card... for a John Waters movie... how awesome is that?
Cuddles and Francine make the film a classic.
Review by Lance Larson, 2010-01-30
I had not seen the film, only little clips from You Tube. I knew I would like the film. I saw it and immediately I fell in love with the characters and the story. Divine is once again great, especially as Francine Fishpaw and Cuddles is superb and in my opinion underrated. Both actresses uplift the film to vast proportions. Divine is very Elizabeth Taylor mixed with some flavor and the character Cuddles is hilarious, her dialogue is worth buying the film in itself. I recommend any John Waters fans to buy this, it's a must have for anyone's DVD Collection.

THIS FILM IS REALLY FUNNY. DIVINE AS USUAL IS GREAT IN IT. ONE OF MY FAVORITES. THEY SAY SOME REALLY FUNNY LINES. EDITH MASSEY AND DIVINE ARE TWO OF THE FUNNIEST CHARACTERS EVER. THERE'S NOTHING BAD I CAN SAY ABOUT THIS MOVIE. I NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING IT! LOVE IT!
Trash in a box
Review by Neil Talley, 2009-01-08
A super collection of classic John Waters films included in a great box set. Although Hairspray and Pecker are a bit mainstream, the early and wonderfully decadent trashy films from the Bard of Baltimore are included. This is definitely a must for any fan of John Waters.
