"Lust in the Dust" is a movie starring Divine, Tab Hunter, Cesar Romero, and Lainie Kazan.

Lust in the Dust tells the story of a lonely, large dancehall girl (Divine) wandering through the desert in search of the town of Chile Verde. She happens upon Hunter as a hunky, butch and silent cowboy who leads her to the town he just happens to be going to as well.

The bar is also the whore-house and humorous hijinks ensue as the madame (Lainie Kazan) and Divine both vie for the affections of Hunter, while numerous character-actors fill in the comedic roles.

When Divine and the madame discover they are long-lost sisters the volume gets cranked up a notch.

For his performance in this film, Divine was nominated, but did not win, the "Worst Actor" award in the 1985 Golden Raspberry Awards.
