Scarecrow In a Garden of Cucumbers

Eternal trans icon (and Warhol superstar) Holly Woodlawn is a riot in SCARECROW IN A GARDEN OF CUCUMBERS—a long-lost comedy musical that has been lovingly restored by the Academy Film Archive. Holly stars as a small-town Kansas girl who tries to make it big—or at least find a roommate—in New York City. One of the first features with a trans lead, this joyous valentine to individuality features a supporting role from Warhol scenester Tally Brown and cameos from Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin.
