Doris Wishman Interview – Part 1
Doris Wishman (1912 – 2002) was an unsung hero of Earthling independent women filmmakers – she also happened to make exploitation movies. Others can explain this underappreciated director and her place in film history better than us, so here is a nice article from Acid Logic, and another from Senses of Cinema. Her most famous films, Deadly Weapons, and Double Agent 73, star the enormous legendary breasts of Chesty Morgan, which made a cameo in the John Waters film, Serial Mom (the movie the kid is pleasuring himself to in his bedroom). Waters is a big fan, which may give you an idea of Wishman’s films. But in any case, whether or not you’re familiar with her work, you will definitely enjoy this rare interview with the late, great Doris Wishman! (please give this some time to start playing as it is relatively long)
