DVD Reviews of Lust in the Dust

DVD Review: you'll laugh so hard your a**'ll be on its last legs !!!
Summary: 5 Stars

Lust In The Dust is an excellent spoof of western films with plenty of laughs and great entertainment. Many people mistakenly believe that this is a John Waters movie; it is not. Tab Hunter was one of the producers and he plays tough, mysterious gunfighter Able Wood as well.

But already I am getting somewhat ahead of myself. The action actually begins when we see Rosie Velez (Divine) struggling in the heat of the desert with her mule as she tries to get to Chile Verde in New Mexico. Soon she meets up with a rough and tough silent type cowboy who turns out to be the very famous Able Wood; and together they enter Chile Verde.

Rosie wants a job as a singer at the only saloon in town owned by Marguerita Ventura (Lainie Kazan); and the catfights start right from the word go as Rosie and Marguerita don't exactly get along. Sure, Rosie gets a job--scrubbing floors in the saloon, that is! Meanwhile, Able turns out to be in Chile Verde to find the long lost gold treasure allegedly buried there. Although the town's priest (Cesar Romero) denies that the gold treasure actually exists, soon almost everyone in town reveals that they are really there just to find the hidden gold treasure.

Of course there are many laughs along the way. Rosie sings a hilarious song as she auditions to sing in Marguerita's saloon; and Able spars with Hard Case Williams (Geoffrey Lewis), a rough and tough man himself--who is always quoting intimidating passages from the Bible. We get fight scenes and the inevitable race for the gold.

It may seem like I gave it all away; but I really didn't. Look for some very funny scenes with the piano bar player Red Barker (Courtney Gains) and the race for the gold treasure could make any one of several characters--or more than one person--very rich fast. Even after the treasure might actually be found, what happens to Rosie, Able, Marguerita, the town's priest--and the others?

The choreography works really well in the fight scenes; and the cinematography gives us great widescreen shots of the New Mexican desert. Excellent!

The DVD extras include a fifteen minute featurette with Tab Hunter and others telling the story of how this movie came to be a reality; and we get quite a bit of rare bonus footage of people like Edith Massey auditioning for the role of one of the "women of the night" in Marguerita's saloon.

Overall, Lust In The Dust is great entertainment that not enough people take the time to watch. It's fun, hilarious and even better if you've seen a few westerns in your time. It's also based on Duel In The Sun; and many people who remember Duel In The Sun will appreciate the parody of that movie's ending at the end of Lust In The Dust.

I highly recommend Lust In The Dust for people who like movies that spoof westerns; and people who like campy, over the top entertainment will cherish this film for ages to come. With a cast including Divine, Lainie Kazan, Tab Hunter, Cesar Romero and more you just can't miss.

Enjoy!
