40th ANNIVERSARY EVENT: JOHN WATERS PRESENTS!
KITTEN WITH A WHIP
1964, 82 minutes, 35mm
With Ann-Margret, John Forsythe, Peter Brown, Patricia Barry, and Richard Anderson

As part of our continuing series of special events commemorating Anthology’s 40th anniversary, we welcome the peerless John Waters, who will be here in-person to introduce a rare screening of the low-budget camp classic KITTEN WITH A WHIP, featuring sex siren Ann-Margret in one of her earliest roles, as an escaped juvenile delinquent. Discovering this seemingly vulnerable and confused teenager in his home while his wife is away, suburbanite John Forsythe concludes that fortune has smiled upon him – but little does he know what sort of hellion he has on his hands! Soon she’s holding him captive in his own house, smearing lipstick across a framed photo of his wife, and threatening to accuse him of rape. Cheap, nasty, and irresistible, KITTEN WITH A WHIP is a film whose virtues no one is better suited to celebrate than Waters, the director of such latter-day cult classics as PINK FLAMINGOS, FEMALE TROUBLE, and SERIAL MOM.

“KITTEN WITH A WHIP is jam-packed with faux-Beat dialogue, jazzed up by a sexy TOUCH OF EVIL-esque music score, and set afire by Ann-Margret at her snarly, vampy, jailbait zenith. This one demands to be worshipped on the big screen – and we don’t mean in the remake Lindsay Lohan threatens to star in.” –AMERICAN CINEMATHEQUE
“On the heels of her show-stopping numbers with Elvis in VIVA LAS VEGAS, Ann-Margret decided to take the low road with this no-budget, b&w melodrama. A surprisingly sleazy juvenile delinquent flick, with a killer performance from everyone’s favorite sex kitten…[this] is a much-loved, vicious li’l B-movie with Ann-Margret proving once and for all that she’s a goddess extraordinaire.” –Steven Puchalski, SHOCK CINEMA
