most prolific women filmmakers in the history of American cinema,
writer-director-editor Wishman created collisions between surrealism and
exploitation that feel like they materialized from an alternate
universe. THE FILMS OF DORIS WISHMAN: THE TWILIGHT YEARS surveys the
last major era of Wishman’s career. From DEADLY WEAPONS and DOUBLE AGENT
73 (crime epics starring the iconic Chesty Morgan) to LET ME DIE A

Weird are honored to present these triumphant DIY treasures in dazzling
new restorations.No one will ever make movies like Doris Wishman made movies.
