KEYHOLES ARE FOR PEEPING

Doris Wishman, USA, 1972, AGFA + Something Weird, Cult

"A sex comedy quite unlike any other sex comedy on the face of the earth."
—Vince Bonavoglia, MEDIA UNLEASHED

No one will ever make movies like Doris Wishman made movies. One of the most prolific women filmmakers in the history of American cinema, writer-director-editor Wishman created DIY collisions between surrealism and exploitation that feel like they materialized from an alternate universe. KEYHOLES ARE FOR PEEPING—Wishman's first and last foray into "comedy" starring Jerry Lewis impersonator Sammy Petrillo—finds Stanley Bebble (Petrillo) and his mother (also Petrillo) taking on the role of a love therapists for the various crackpots living in their building. A collage-like mindwarp that features psychedelic sex sequences, bizarro sight gags, and loads of outtakes from earlier Wishman films, KEYHOLES ARE FOR PEEPING has been newly restored in 2K from its original 35mm camera negative.
