“Eternal trans icon (and Warhol superstar) Holly Woodlawn is a riot in SCARECROW IN A GARDEN OF CUCUMBERS—a long-lost comedy musical that has been lovingly restored by the Academy Film Archive. Holly stars as a small-town Kansas girl who tries to make it big—or at least find a roommate—in New York City. One of the first features with a trans lead, this joyous valentine to individuality features a supporting role from Warhol scenester Tally Brown and cameos from Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin.” - American Genre Film Association. Restoration courtesy of the Academy Film Archive and the American Genre Film Archive.
Holly Woodlawn's comedic timing and physical humor is so magnetic, you can literally feel this movies impact on John Waters. It's zany and dry and so gd 70's. <3 <3
