LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FABULOUS STAINS (1982)
The Stains, a fledgling punk band comprised of three teenage girls, rise, fall...and rise again in this "rock 'n roll parody" directed by music industry veteran Lou Adler (Up in Smoke). With nothing keeping them in their dying factory hometown, rebellious Corinne Burns (Diane Lane, Streets of Fire), her sister Tracy (Marin Kanter, The Loveless) and their cousin Jessica (Laura Dern, Wild at Heart) form the Stains and tour with fading glam rockers the Metal Corpses and working-class English punks the Looters. Through a combination of media manipulation and Corinne's brazen on-stage persona, the Stains become an unlikely overnight sensation. But the girls quickly learn that the business of music is insatiable, fans are fickle and fame is fleeting... Nancy Dowd's (Coming Home) trenchant script takes place in the same, fictional Rust Belt town that her Slap Shot is set in. Through its story occurs within an accelerated, "only in the movies" timeframe, Ladies and Gentlemen the Fabulous Stains is full of truths about the music business thanks to the contributions of many industry insiders on both sides of the camera. Barely released in 1982 and unavailable on home video for decades, the film has become a bona fide cult classic through late night cable airings and the "riot grrrl" movement it helped inspire. Newly-restored from its original 35mm camera negative, Ladies and Gentlemen the Fabulous Stains comes to 4K UHD for the first time anywhere in the world.
