One of two 1988 live-action movies starring actress-comedian Bette Midler. The other picture was Beaches (1988). Both were made by Touchstone Pictures. Midler also did some voice work for Touchstone's parent brand Disney's Oliver & Company (1988) released in the same 1988 year.
Sadie Ratliff:
Isn't it exciting?
Rose Ratliff:
Oh yeah, the noise, the smog, the crowds, the muggers, sex fiends, white slavers, politicians, it's a pistol. I got about as much use for it as a toad has for spit curls!
When Sadie is standing in the crowd listening to music her wig is starting to fall off.
Seen about two-thirds of the way through the credits: Don't Go, It's Almost Over
