"Lust in the Dust" is a 1985 film starring Divine, Tab Hunter, Cesar Romero, and Lainie Kazan, directed by Paul Bartel. It takes its title from a longstanding nickname given to the 1946 Western "Duel in the Sun".

Plot

Dance-hall "girl" Rosie Velez (Divine), lost in the desert, is helped to safety by gunman Abel Wood (Tab Hunter).

Trivia

*This is the first film that Divine doesn't work with John Waters.
*The title comes from the famous production nickname of "Duel in the Sun" (1946).
*John Waters was asked to direct the film but refused because he did not write the script.
*Edith Massey auditioned for the part of Big Ed, but Paul Bartel did not want her in the film because he thought it would look too much like a John Waters film without John Waters.
