"Master of Filth" John Waters

The director's film "Pink Flamingoes" is 25 years old this year. We rebroadcast one of his earlier conversations with Terry, shortly after he made the cult film "Polyester," starring Divine and Edith Massey. "Polyester" was Waters' first studio film, and the first of his movies that didn't carry a self imposed X-rating. (REBROADCAST from July 1985).
