Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (Widescreen)

Last Minute Sales & Specials

"Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains" received a limited initial theatrical release and has been seen only on television and occasionally at film festivals. Yet somehow this 1982 film about a trio of misfit teenage girls who start a punk band went on to inspire a generation of female rockers. She can't fool all the fans all the time...Recently orphaned Corrine "Third Degree" Burns (a 15-year-old Diane Lane) enlists her cousin (Laura Dern) and sister (Marin Kanter) to launch a punk rock band, The Stains. Three rehearsals later, The Stains score the opening slot on a cross-country tour with aging metal act The Metal Corpses (led by Fee Waybill of The Tubes) and British punk rockers The Looters (real-life punk pioneers Paul Simonon from The Clash and Steve Jones & Paul Cook of The Sex Pistols). The Stains meteoric rise (and equally lightening-quick fall) owes more to TV exposure than to talent. Cynical commentary on teen angst and rampant consumerism, or prescient allegory for the riot grrrl scene.
