For those of you that have access to On Demand (Comcast Channel 1), I encourage you to visit the The Cutting Edge / Something Weird / Retro Erotica channel and view Indecent Desires, a 1967 release by notorious female filmmaker Doris Wishman. I had only seen excerpts of Doris' work (Nude on the Moon) in other compilation videos, and Something Weird delivers only 30 minutes of the seventy-five minute release, but it's enough. The story concerns a nerdy guy who finds a doll in a wastebasket, and uses it to perform a kind of sexual voodoo. Although the movie is bad, calling Doris Wishman the Female Ed Wood does her a disservice. Although light in the story line, it is coherent, and even predictable.
I advise you to view it while you can; Something Weird turns their videos over every month. And take the opportunity to explore the other categories in Something Weird -- the movie trailers are not to be believed!
