• The Film

  Babs Johnson (Divine) lives in a Baltimore trailer with her mother, her son and her girlfriend. After a tabloid names them as "the filthiest people alive," they encounter competition for the title.

• Notoriety

  The final scene of the film hits an unrivaled peak of sorts in featuring a continuous shot of a dog defecating and Divine eating the product. The film was banned in several countries for that and similar reasons.
