this film suffers from what a lot of low budget inexperienced director film suffer from represent long interval in which nothing happen in an attempt to get to the good part of the movie . this one have it be spade and which make it hard to sit through to get to the highlight . but the high point be some of the most inspired of any john water flick represent the surreal appearance of the emperor of prague and play by small boy in full monarch regalia who guide lady divine and and the completely unsolicited cameo of lobstora and the enormous lobster prop who and like nearly everybody in the early film and have it way with divine . i find these scene far more interesting than the film a a whole and despite the ( possibly unintentional ) social commentary of the opening sequence . here and a crowd of straight visit the carnival of perversion and witness horror range from the puke eater to the homosexual . each attraction be view with similar disgust from the suburbanite and yet they make no effort to leave the show and which seem to call to water fascination with the american public fascination with the fringe of society .
