More Trouble

'Geneviève [Bujold] was the Claire Trevor character, Keith [Carradine] was the Richard Widmark character, Lori [Singer] was the Ida Lupino character, and Kris [Kristofferson] was John Garfield.'

-- Alan Rudolph, interview in "Halves of a Dream," an extra on the Trouble in Mind DVD


On the set in 1984: Bujold, Kristofferson, Singer, and Carradine.





Divine as the gangster, Hilly Blue -- the first male character he ever played in a film.



'I tried to get back to the sources of film noir's look. We looked at a lot of German Expressionist paintings.' -- Cinematographer Toyomichi Kurita



'I feel like I can see your face right now. You look real scared.' -- Kris Kristofferson as Hawk



'Seattle has this dreamy quality to it.' -- Alan Rudolph

Divine also had a (secondary) male role in the 1988 Hairspray.

Besides playing Edna Turnblad (Tracy's mom), he played Arvin Hodgepile, the owner of the radio station that hosted the Corny Collins show.

Ah, thanks for that. The claim that this was his only male film role was made in the DVD extras, but I wondered if it was true. I'll correct my post.
