‘Ladies And Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains’

Diane Lane is one of our greatest living actresses and I will hear nothing to the contrary! I could reel off a dozen of my favorite Lane performances, but the one role nearest and dearest to my heart is that of Corrine “Third Degrees” Burns, in Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains. Corrine is an angry seventeen-year-old, wise beyond her years, who wants to be a punk rocker. After gaining notoriety on the local news, Corrine and her band, The Stains (which includes a fourteen-year-old Laura Dern!), hit the road with The Looters, a British punk band whose lead singer, Billy (a super young Ray Winstone), has eyes for Corrine. With a extreme new look, a sneer, and a feminist manta (“we don’t put out”), Corrine and The Stains become a sensation, but soon learn about the fleeting nature of fame. Anchored by strong performances, killer looks and a killer soundtrack, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains is the ultimate Girl Rock movie and a not to be missed peek at Lane in her formative years.
