21 Essential ‘Be Gay, Do Crime’ Movies
Drive-Away Dolls joins a fabulous canon of films about queers causing trouble.
Set in a single apartment, Hitchcock’s queer thriller Rope finds Brandon (John Dall) and Phillip (Farley Granger) staging the perfect murder, strangling their old friend in their penthouse. After murdering her husband, Peggy Gravel (Mink Stole) and her maid/accomplice Griselda Brown (Jean Hill) run off to Mortville, a wayward society of depraved miscreants and criminals ruled by the fascist Queen Carlotta (Edith Massey). Between the sex scenes that will be seared in your mind forever, truly rancid meals, and extremely committed performances, Watersweaves a gross, violent, and hilarious tapestry that also functions as a bold queer manifesto, celebrating freedom from oppression.
