Probably the most famous of Wishman's films, "Double Agent 73" features Chesty Morgan, a Polish actress of little talent and lots of cleavage. As stated above, Morgan sports, or is burdened by, a 73" bust line. (Something that unusual bears repeating). "Double Agent" features Chesty for the second time in front of Wishman's camera. Despite the fact that Wishman has said Chesty Morgan was the hardest person she ever worked with on a film, she made "Double Agent" because Chesty's first film, "Deadly Weapons" did quite well. In "Deadly Weapons," Chesty plays the widow of a gangster...
...Wishman use her unusual filming techniques through out this exploitation classic. She made her films in lip-synch and dubbed afterwards. The majority of the time, Wishman filmed the backs of people's heads or showed the reactions of the people listening while someone is talking. Her camera follows like the eye to show the smallest, most unusual details, from the Jane's tacky jewelry to the plush red shag carpet.

Wishman says that she "felt so sorry for these people" and "felt as if she had exploited them." But then quickly counters with the fact that...
...scene tells the lesson of "your new vagina" thanks to Ronald/Rhoda. A recent sex-change male transsexual, Rhoda was anxious to try out her new vagina. But Wishman doesn't allow us just to hear it from Wollman, we see her in her first encounter. The poor woman suffers from major blood loss and has to return to the hospital to undergo another series of operations to repare the damage she underwent during...
Appropriately enough, all of Wishman's films are for "adults only." They offer a most unusual perspective on the world. As film reviewer Jim Morton said in Incredibly Strange Films, '"Double Agent 73 makes [John Waters'] 'Pink Flamingos' look almost genteel." If you've ever seen any of Waters' films, you'll know just how extreme this is. While Wishman doesn't utilize "Pink Flamingos" beastiality plot (with chickens, by the way), she is obviously an influence to Waters...
