Female Trouble

1976 · 98 min

A gleefully trashy, outrageous cult comedy that shocks and amuses with its bad-taste excess and anarchic spirit.

Tagline: Nice girls don't wear cha-cha heels.
Overview: Teenage delinquent Dawn Davenport, incensed after her parents do not give her the cha-cha heels she wanted for Christmas, runs away from home. After an illegitimate child and hairstylist husband bring her more misery, she's enticed into a life of crime when the owners of her husband's salon promise her fame and fortune.
How it feels: Absurd, campy, dark and satirical. Brisk and needs your attention.
About: Crime, celebrity, identity, family
Content: Strong violence, sexual content and language. Mild gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
