Lust in the Dust DVD

This item is a standard DVD release of the film "Lust in the Dust," a comedic Western directed by Paul Bartel and starring Tab Hunter, Lainie Kazan, and Divine. The DVD is housed in a clear plastic keep case with a full-color printed paper insert serving as the cover art. The front cover features a vibrant, somewhat stylized illustration, typical of Western movie posters, with a light blue sky background transitioning to a desert landscape. The title, "LUST IN THE DUST," is prominently displayed in large, yellow, Western-style block letters, with a small cactus graphic next to 'DUST'. Below the title are the taglines: 'He Rode The West... The Girls Rode The Rest... Together They Ravaged The Land!'. The primary characters, including Divine in a large, dark wig and a form-fitting dress, Tab Hunter as a cowboy holding a gun, and Lainie Kazan, are depicted in the foreground. There are quotes from 'California Magazine' such as "'Raunchy...' and 'It Would've Made Some Lose His Lunch!'. The DVD logo is visible in the bottom right corner. The case itself appears to be in good condition with minor surface wear, common for a pre-owned DVD, but no significant damage like cracks or deep scratches are discernible. The colors on the cover art are still bright and unfaded, suggesting it has not been exposed to excessive light. The overall aesthetic points to a release from the early to mid-2000s, aligning with common DVD packaging at the time. This film is known for its cult status and particular comedic style, making it a unique piece for collectors of quirky cinema.
