Synopsis

While not specifically gay–themed, a performance by drag artist Divine always adds queer interest.

The time is The Future: the place is Rain City, formerly Seattle. The city is a police state, while the citizens have adopted the manner and dress of 1940s gangsters. Recently released from prison, ex–cop Kris Kristofferson tries to touch base with his ex–girlfriend Geneviève Bujold, who runs a 1950s–style cafe. Hoping to make up for past sins, thereby redeeming himself in Bujold's eyes, Kristofferson endeavors to save innocent, newly arrived couple Keith Carradine and Lori Singer from the evil designs of crooked Joe Morton. Trouble in Mind strives mightily for a film noir ambience, right down to the presence of a sinister, Greenstreetesque "fat man", played in male drag (for a change) by Divine. The title tune for Trouble in Mind is sung over the credits by Marianne Faithfull.

Review

Rudolph weaves the themes of hope and despair, greed and jealousy, and lost and found love in this carefully spun noir drama. There's a fine supporting performance by Divine (playing a male character) as an underworld boss. Title sung by Marianne Faithfull.
