Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains

Newly Added • 1h 27m

Directed by Lou Adler • 1982 • United States
Starring Diane Lane, Ray Winstone, Peter Donat

In the punk classic that became a touchstone for the riot grrrl movement, seventeen-year-old orphan Corinne (Diane Lane) chucks her job flipping burgers, discovers eyeliner, and becomes a counterculture sensation as Third Degree, front woman for the eponymous, skunk-haired garage girl band whose motto is “We don’t put out.” This brash and bratty music-industry satire boasts a supergroup of punk royalty, with members of the Clash and the Sex Pistols jamming together as “The Looters.”
