To all Psychotronic Film lovers out there Doris Wishman
(born 1912, dead 2002) must be the Queen
of filmmaking. A true film auteur within the field of Avant-garde and
Exploitation filmmaking.
She started her director career in the early 1960's with Sexploitation
Nudie Cuties as Hideout in the
Sun (1960), Nude on the Moon (1961),
Blaze Starr Goes Nudist (1963), Bad
Girls Go to Hell (1965) -
the latter with one of the best film titles ever, along with Ronnie
Cramer's 1992 Even Hitler had
a Girlfriend.
Doris developed her own uniquely personal style
with a camera that suddenly starts meandering
away from the actors seemingly on a journey of its own to check out
the shoes on the actors feet
or to examine the random stuff lying on a bedside table.
In the 1970's Doris Wishman made her
Masterpieces Deadly Weapons and Double Agent 73 with
the enigmatic ex-Polish and Israeli stripper Chesty
Morgan (Lillian Wilczkowsky) known for her
unreal enormous hanging breasts, but they're real and all natural. Lillian
was born in 1937.
With this psychotronic film duo Doris surpasses other "Turkey"film
directors as Ed Wood, Jr.,
swedish Suzanne Osten, Fred Olen Ray and the whole Troma team and she
presides at the top
of the throne of inept and unhinged B-movie filmmaking. She's the queen
and we love her, she
was the coolest lady in film. When she passed 90 years old in 2002 she
was still fully active.
The promotion and one of the blurbs
shouted: "See the Biggest Event in the History
of
Motion Pictures" and they're sort of right here. Doris was
the one making the magic happen.
