SCARECROW IN A GARDEN OF CUCUMBERS 1972
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.

Restoration courtesy of the Academy Film Archive and the American Genre Film Archive.
