This
Andy Warhol production finds
Joe Dallesandro as
Joe, a lice-ridden impotent junkie who lives with
Holly (
Holly Woodlawn) in a Lower East Side slum in New York.
Holly is a transvestite who spends time collecting trash, going to the Fillmore East, and cruising for sex.
Joe is only interested in his next fix, and graphic displays of needles piercing flesh and degrading human situations deglamorize drug use better than any board of education film or public service messages.
Jane (
Jane Forth) is the acid casualty housewife who listens to
Pink Floyd. Male and female nudity and masturbation are featured. The color process is not credited, but technical aspects are better overall than most previous
Warhol productions.
Woodlawn was the inspiration for the
Lou Reed song
"Take a Walk on the Wild Side." ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide
