“Weird movies are often startling but this one is a full scale assault.”
—Frank Henenlotter

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. DOUBLE AGENT 73 — Wishman’s most infamous, crowd-pleasing movie and her final collaboration with the iconic Chesty Morgan—finds secret agent Jane (Morgan) taking down a heroin ring with the help of her otherworldly bust … which is implanted with a secret camera and bombs. Filled with outrageous violence, high camp, and breathtaking fashions courtesy of Morgan, DOUBLE AGENT 73 has been newly restored in 2K from its original 35mm camera negative.
