Converse snark and stark define John Waters' The Diane Linkletter Story, a short that evidences his subversive slant as present before the creation of his established classics. Melding these real-life elements with his curious individualist aesthetic, Waters does, with the utilization of an endearingly flawed image, suggest what few other filmmakers do in their early capsules: the hand of a potentially compelling film artist.

A must for any serious John Waters fan. All the hallmarks of Waters' early style are here in this 10-minute short.
