Passion Fever

Agent 73 (played not by Chesty Morgan, but by Tournay) is strangled right after the credits. Her three beautiful daughters — Sandy, Ginny and Nancy — attend her funeral and then spring into pre- Charlie Angels action as they seek revenge and try to get their 3 million dollar inheritance. Well they don’t seem to be in a big hurry to seek revenge as they all seem to enjoy teasing men or trying on fashions. Eventually some people get killed and the killers are brought to justice. A loud, garish ’70s feel permeates the entire film from the weird camera angles, fashions, and platform shoes to the (now familiar to Wishman fans) use of ashtrays and goblets to off people with. From the advertisements: “They love… They kill… There’s nothing they wouldn’t do!”

Although Wishman denied the rumor for years, C. Davis Smith, Annie Sprinkle, and others have come forth and admitted Wishman directed two hardcore films. This was the first of the two. Wishman apparently did not direct the hardcore sex and left the room, leaving C. Davis Smith, and perhaps someone else, to direct the action. But everything else in the film is supposedly trademark Wishman… or so I’ve heard. I haven’t seen this one. (Note: actual on screen credits were not available to verify credits.) From the advertisements: “Let Her Show You How Good It Feels To Be Bad!”
