WATERS, John [screenwriterr & director].

[Publicist's Press Release for:] A NEW LINE CINEMA RELEASE "POLYESTER."

New York: John Springer Associates, Inc., [1981]. First edition. Quarto. [2],7 leaves, printed on rectos only. Mechanically reproduced typescript with pictorial cover sheet. Staple absent from extreme upper left corner, with rust staining left behind, otherwise very good. 

A studio PR firm's promotional release for John Waters's first film to earn an "R" rating, rather than an "X." As usual, Waters was both writer and director, and cast Divine (Francine Fishpaw) and Tab Hunter (Todd Tomorrow) in the lead roles. The promo includes a two page (plus four lines) synopsis; a four page biographical treatment of Waters with a discussion of his films; and a cast list with production information. "Polyester introduces ODORAMA,  a ludicrous gimmick which will allow the audience to share in 10 of the more penetrating odors that plague poor Francine" --page 2.  Extremely uncommon. Very good.
