...most of the other actors, a motley crew culled from the director's pet sources -- kitsch movies of the '50s, tabloid headlines of the '70s and '80s -- who could have met nowhere in the world but on a John Waters set. Surfside heartthrob Troy Donahue. Media minx Joey Heatherton. Ever fashionable Polly Bergen. Andy Warhol icon Joe Dallesandro. Punk pioneer Iggy Pop. Legendary bad actress Susan Tyrrell. Norman Mailer's son Stephen. As a smarmily sadistic guard, Willem Dafoe. The parents of slutty Wanda (Traci Lords) are assayed by Ozzie and Harriet's own David Nelson and, in her movie...
...about in the embers of their love. He is a restorer of modern art ("Not that wide a field, you know. More like a kitchen garden"), and she participates ardently in church-music concerts. By contrast, Kate (Roxanne Hart), a photographer, is just 25 and loin directed, an amoral minx spawned by the permissive society.

She clothes and feeds him and teaches him manners rather after the fashion of a reverse Pygmalion. Above all, she teaches him that, in England, veneer is worth far more...

Built on a 1954 Hillman Minx chassis, the head of "The Dickmobile" is 18 gauge steel stretched over a pencil wire frame, while the body of the car is molded fiberglass. The entire vehicle is painted in various shades of pink, except the purple exhaust columns that run along the sides, and the rear of the car that is painted a pubic hair black. The plush interior of the car is upholstered...
