Production

The name of the film was taken from the nickname given to Duel in the Sun (1946).[2]

Tab Hunter and made Polyester with Divine. Hunter said when they worked together "I took one look at this . . . hulk . . . and decided that it belonged on the big screen. This is a very mainstream film. It doesn't pander to any kind of audience except one that wants to be entertained."[3]

Oginally, Hunter wanted to appear as the villain, Hardcase Williams. But as the script developed, he saw the need for a straight hero type for the other characters to play off; so he opted for the role of Abel. Hunter based his performance on Clint Eastwood and himself. "You have to have a sense of humor about yourself and your work," he said. "Stardom has always been like fingernails on a blackboard to me. Besides, it all goes by so quickly that you might as well smile and enjoy while it happens." [3]

John Waters was asked to direct, but refused because he did not write the script.

In November 1983 Joan Rivers was reportedly looking at the film script with a view to directing it.[3]

  • Edith Massey was cast in the role of Big Ed, but died shortly after her screen test. Paul Bartel was uneasy about having her in the film because he thought it would look too much like a John Waters film without John Waters.
  • The role for Lainie Kazan was originally set for Chita Rivera.

Hunter produced. "It's a gamble," he said. "It was financed totally without Hollywood money. I put up the money for the screenplay, and Allan rounded up six investors for the rest. It cost us $3 million, but it has to do about $9 million to get into profits. It could be a lucrative gamble or a disastrous one." [4]

The film was shot in Santa Fe New Mexico.[5] In the original script Divine's character was supposed to die but the filmmakers changed their mind during filming.[1]

"America is ready for Divine," said Hunter. "There is a vulnerability about this big whale that makes you smile and laugh."[6]

Hunter and Glaser had offers from major studios to distribute but decided to go with new World. "To New World this is an epic and they're exploiting it as on,e" said Hunter. "To Fox it would've been a little picture they put in their classics division and that would have been the end of that."[7]
