Though some of the contributions described here were the result of a few bursts of inspiration, there is not one that would have reached fulfillment were it not for the sense of personal responsibility that fueled its originator's persistence during the day-by-day grind necessary for success. In this, medicine is no different than any other form of endeavor. For when all is said and done, it is the perspiration that makes the difference.

Meyer (with his giddy editing style), Radley Metzger (who made elegant variations on Euro-smut) and R.L. Frost (a versatile imagist, heavy on the rough stuff) could have played in the majors. But most exploiteurs were amateurs--like Doris Wishman, with her mesmerizingly absurd tales of good women gone bad. The husband-and-wife team of Michael and Roberta Findlay, who, Weldon says admiringly, "made the most twisted softcore adult movies of them all," later concocted the fake snuff film, Snuff.
