AGFA Releasing The Films of Doris Wishman: The Twilight Years

[fatboyslim142]

I believe it's been confirmed that VS (rather than AGFA) is putting out a peekarama release of her XXX films to round things out. I desperately want A Night To Dismember to be included in one of the other sets though, that film is fucking incredible.

A Night To Dismember would need to include BOTH versions.

Yes, that the copy I have and I treasure it. Just be ready, the film doesn't make a lick of sense and is edited as if it was a drug trip.

Plus if you're not in the right mood it can seem like a particularly unpleasant and frustrating nightmare. The commentary is better than the film.

I take it the Elite DVD is the best way to currently see this?

A Wishman roughies set is also a Darlene Bennett happening, so count me in on that. Nude On The Moon would make a Nudies box a thing for me.

Sounds like I need to catch up with A Night To Dismember.

Excellent news on the xxx films. Would be great to get them in a double feature with VS's usual high standards.

If Nude On The Moon doesn't get a Blu-ray upgrade I quit.

Seems they're doing it roughly based on era. So nudie cuties and then roughies would make sense although a whole set of nudie cuties may be a bit much even for a Wishman nut.

I do hope they include her deranged late masterpiece A Night to Dismember (which also has a great commentary featuring Doris and her cinematographer I believe).

[ChicGandil]

So two more sets are being released? Is there any word yet on the grouping? I'm assuming it would be the Nudie Cuties and the Roughies?

[Weirdlingwolf]

Ah! I'm deffo up for this collection!

[Randy G]

Seen the Chesty Morgan films several times so I started with the Frank Henenlotter commentary and he is fun as usual. They should have him on ever SWV release.

Love Toy is a real gem of this set. I love the film grain here.

[Matt H.]

Cheers, I put in an order. I assumed this would get tied up with their sale stuff and take months to arrive so glad to see it's shipping before then.

I placed an order and got a shipping notification 20 minutes later! These guys are fast, but that has to be a record.

Mondo Digital review

So apparently Wishman made cuts to the negs herself which explains the missing footage from Amazing Transplant. It's still disappointing they didn't include the extra footage from a VHS source (either as a composite or deleted scenes) but it's not a dealbreaker given how good the set looks overall. Still worth holding on to your old Let Me Die a Woman DVDs for that commentary with Leslie, though I'm looking forward to the new Carta Monir track.
