Polyester tells the tale of a large-sized housewife (Divine) and her philandering husband. The husband runs a X-rated store, and their two children are vicious, ill-mannered, and generally out-of-control. Her life is in a shambles and Divine suffers a nervous breakdown of sorts.
Then along comes Tab Hunter to sweep her off her feet. Or does he?

IMDb entry on Polyester (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082926/)
Polyester is the story of Francine Fishpaw (Divine) alcoholic wife of Elmer (David Samson), the owner of a porno theater who is cheating on Francine with his secretary Sandra Sullivan (Mink Stole).
Polyester hit a strange note with me, it was low budgeted, starred Divine and the strangely lovable Edith Massey (a staple of early Waters films.) Also, it was shot in a surreal way, like a soap opera, and had the most bizarre film gimmick I'd ever seen.
he movie was shot for $300,000 and it's impressive how good it looks for that kind of money, yet, with the digital quality there to show you every bit of grain and scratch, it does look quite low budget.
