Directed by John Waters • 1990 • United States
Starring Johnny Depp, Amy Locane, Iggy Pop
John Waters blends nostalgia with camp irreverence in this irresistible spoof of the 1950s delinquent-youth movie. In the role that began his transition from teen idol to movie star, Johnny Depp plays Wade “Cry-Baby” Walker, a bad boy in the mold of Elvis or James Dean, whose rebel-cool attitude electrifies a town full of squares—including good girl Allison (Amy Locane), whom he invites to walk on the wild side. Waters’s follow-up to his hit HAIRSPRAY bursts with rockabilly musical numbers and appearances from counterculture stars like Iggy Pop, Traci Lords, and Joe Dallesandro.
