About this product

Product Information

Peggy Gravel (Mink Stole) is a frazzled housewife who has just been released from a mental hospital. Arriving at her suburban Baltimore home in a delicate state, she quickly decides that her husband is trying to kill her...and coerces her rotund maid, Grizelda (Jean Hill), to suffocate him with her ample bottom. In order to escape imprisonment, the unlikely duo seeks refuge in Mortville, a oddball shantytown populated by criminals and social outcasts. To the citizens' dismay, however, vicious Queen Carlotta (Edith Massey) rules the kingdom with an iron fist. With assistance from a cranky pre-op transsexual (Susan Lowe) and her sexpot lover (Liz Renay), Peggy and Grizelda attempt to navigate their strange new lives. An antifascist fairy tale obviously influenced by THE WIZARD OF OZ, DESPERATE LIVING creates a true feeling of oppression, amid the expected gross-outs and comedic absurdities. Production designer Vincent Peranio creates an entire village on a shoestring budget, lending the film the effectively disorienting effect of a surrealistic school play. For those who like their comic boundaries dark and stretched to the limit, filmmaker John Waters once again provides sights simply not seen anywhere else.

Peggy played by Mink Stole has been in everyone single one of John Water's movies, she's the best! This is a fun movie. This is a piece of trash art to be studied and reflected on. More than anything you will laugh till your sides hurt.

This is a trashy filthy movie
This trashy, vile, disgusting, repulsive movie is a favorite of mine. A gem. Watched it with a large group of friends, I assumed I would get yelled and screamed out of the room but it was a hit. God bless John Waters. 10/10

Revoltingly good!
This film is a low budget look at fascism and overthrowing an unfair government. Hmmm...a very current topic in my opinion. There are scenes which will turn the stomach if your stomach happens to be a weak one. But it is hilarious and cheesey and worth the time.

One of the most 'messed up' movies EVER. John Waters is so warped. I LOVE IT. This movie has more twists and turns. Just a funny movie.
