Female Trouble (1974)
Even from her youth in 1960 Baltimore, Dawn Davenport (Divine) was destined for greatness. A defiant hair-hopper (the evil twin of Hairspray's Tracy Turnblad perhaps?), Dawn eats a meatball sandwich in the middle of a pop quiz in class, smokes in the ladies' room, and does not care if she fails school. In fact, she would love to flunk out. All she really wants is a pair of cha-cha heels for Christmas.
But when her parents deny her such an obvious tribute to her greatness, she runs away from home, has sex with a stranger (Divine as a man, driving a real Edsel!), gets pregnant, and delivers the baby by herself on a dirty couch.
Thus begins Dawn Davenport's criminal career. It is a career that will defy all propriety, convention, and logic. Beware the wrath of a woman scorned!
