When a friend suggested I watch this film I hadn't heard of it. And after I saw it, at first, I wished I hadn't. But this is one of those truly guilty pleasures. Don't admit to anyone you've seen this film, but sat back and prepare to roar. Tab Hunter not only wrote the script and produced but starred in the film. Divine was...well divine and Lanie Kazan was a hoot. And ever debonair Cesar Romero helped to bring the riotous humor out in this little gem by director Paul Bartel. Make no mistake, this is not a John Waters film. It is in a class by itself and it needs to be judged that way. Even the name of the town Chili Verde (Green Chili) New Mexico is fitting. I think I may have driven through this place a time or two when I lived in that state.
