One hilarious scene. - Female Trouble review by CW
When I saw Female Trouble in the early 80’s I thought it was one big laugh after another and especially remembered the Christmas scene. It is not a movie that I think has stood the test of time. I still howled watching teenage Dawn stomp on presents and kick over the Christmas tree when she didn’t get the cha cha heels but the rest of the movie didn’t amuse nor interest me as much. It seems as though it would have made a good video, maybe 20 minutes long. Still, was fun to see if I would laugh at the same places.
