John Waters

Mondo Trasho Press Packet

[Baltimore]: Dreamland Productions, 1969. Mimeograph on three unbound sheets. 8 ½ x 11 in. Very good. Item #6487

Packet of press materials for John Waters’ first feature film Mondo Trasho. The packet contains a brief synopsis and production history alongside a cast list, but more prominently features two cuttings from a Baltimore newspaper that ran an article on “the bust”, a sequence of arrests in which the “Baltimore police reportedly used two paddy wagons, two radio cars and at least one unmarked car yesterday as they arrested three members of an underground movie [Mondo Trasho] film crew on warrants charging them with indecent exposure.”.
