| Sumario: | Producer, distributor, and director Doris Wishman (1912-2002) was a pioneering woman in the film industry, leaving a body of work almost 30 films strong. Largely overlooked by critical and cultural analysis, Wishman worked in the normatively neglected film genre of sexploitation and adult film, but works like 'Hideout in the Sun' (1960), 'Bad Girls Go To Hell' (1965), 'Double Agent 73' (1974) and 'Each Time I Kill' (2007) demonstrate an interest in complicated, ideological and often troubling social performances of the contemporary human condition. This book positions Wishman as a significant and overlooked force in American independent film, with an impact on how we currently understand the categories of cult, exploitation, horror, experimental, and avant-garde cinema. |
