    Perhaps it is Browning's most famous and notorious film, following the old routine of this kind of cult film in the 1930s. Browning outside the play has been criticized for his attitude towards freaks. It can be seen that the idea of ​​the film may not be very good, but in the age of seeking novelty and excitement, this film is indeed a stimulant. The freaks in the film are all from real people, which can be regarded as a characteristic of that...

  • Hercules: [telling Venus off, as she walks out the door of his trailer] Ungrateful little tramp!

  • Venus: [she has just been kicked out of Hercules' trailer; she is very upset; yells at Phroso, who is just standing there minding his own business] Well, what are you staring at? Didn't you ever see a lady move before? I guess you've been listening to every word he said.

    Venus: [Phroso still hasn't said a word; she has a loud tone of voice] That's it. That's it! Go ahead and laugh. It's funny, ain't it?

    Venus: [Phroso still hasn't said a word; her voice is sarcastic] Yeah. Women are funny, ain't they? They're all tramps, ain't they?

    Venus: Ye-e-eah. Except when you can get MONEY from them!

    [she storms off, goes into the trailer next door]

    Phroso: [finally gets mad at Venus for dumping on him; he rushes over to her trailer.] Well, I'll be! Say, who do you think you are, shooting off your head? Hey, this is Phroso -- Phroso you're talking to! Not any of those thugs you've been chasing around with.

    Venus: [apologizing, soft tone of voice] Oh, I didn't mean you. I had to take it out on somebody.
