3 Reasons To buy this film

A chance to see all three Superstars - the beautiful Candy Darling, the wise-cracking Jackie Curtis and the always hilarious Holly Woodlawn in action!
Although many associate this film as one by Andy Warhol, director Paul Morrissey was the artistic vision behind it -- or so he claims!
A hilarious slice-of-Warholian-life.

Review

One of the sharpest of the Andy Warhol/Paul Morrissey works, Women in Revolt is a subversively outrageous and hilariously un-PC story of three "women" who unite to fight against the yokel of male oppression and embrace the women's liberation Front (specifically, PIGS -- Politically Involved Girls) only to eventually tire of the idea and revert to their old ways. Drag queen superstars Holly Woodlawn, Candy Darling and Jackie Curtis make the unlikely trio: Jackie is a frigid lesbian militarist; Candy is a rich deb and actress-wannabe; and Holly is a fashion model and incorrigible bisexual nymphomaniac. But liberation takes a detour for them as Jackie soon abandons her militant lesbian ways after paying to have sex with a former Mr. America and after her first orgasm ("I think I'm gonna go, I'm coming! Oh, now I know what we're up against."), gets pregnant and becomes a happy single mother in Jew Jersey. The other gals also fail to live up to the goals of the organization. A funny, poignant and witty gender-reversal satire.
