They're about women as sex-slaves, sexual killers, sexual deviants, transsexuals. Unlike the cold, stupid, callous hardcore pornographic films of today, Wishman's soft-core films are low-budget portraits of odd balls which happen to involve sex. These films were originally shown in art houses and drive-ins. And I can see why. I'm sure all anyone would do while watching, is screw...
...Wishman's career bean making films in nudist campus. This was her first gimmick. Her gimmicks continued to include Chesty Morgan, the woman with the 73" bus line; films which acted out the worst of the Bible's sins: incest, rape, murder; and the twentieth-century's modern medical break throughs of the penile implant and transsexuality.
