Wish-Woman

 

 (blu-ray.com)

LET ME DIE A WOMAN-1978-Dr. Leo Wollman (playing himself) narrates and explains exactly what happens during a sex change operation. It's rather detailed and real transsexuals talk about their lives but Doris Wishman wrote and directed it so at times it's exploitative and goofy. Harry Reems (DEEP THROAT) is a cab driver. Vanessa Del Rio is unbilled as Sandy. The doc gives some serious lectures then the story veers into near pornographic faked scenes.

Nudie Cuties

NUDE ON THE MOON-1961-Infamous nudie exploitation film from Doris Wishman, perhaps the only female nudie director in film history.

Two stupid scientists (one young, one older) fly to the moon and encounter a race of women who wander around topless. The pair take photos and make notes while the girls show off their “moon boobs”. Their leader talks by telepathy and the young egghead falls for her. A song “I’m Mooning Over You” plays every time they meet. It’s sung by Tony Sandler who later was half of the popular ‘60’s sing duo Sandler & Young.

This color production is well photographed and the post-synch dialogue (a standard in Wishman films) is done better than usual. It was filmed in Miami.
