A spy movie like you've never seen

OK, technically, I guess this isn't really a spy movie, or maybe it's sort of a secret agent movie, or maybe...well, I don't know, Doris Wishman directed & produced it, so maybe it's just one of the strangest things you've ever watched and let's leave it at that. Chesty Morgan plays Jane, who apparently is some kind of agent, who is called in to investigate a drug ring who have been smuggling bad heroin into the US. To aid her in her quest, she has had a camera installed in her left breast, and all she has to do is squeeze it to take pictures, which is actually probably far more strenuous than it sounds. Having recovered from her surgery, Jane (Chesty) is up and dressed in a bevy of eye-catching outfits and out to find the leader of this gang. Along the way she meets up with a dispatches various gang members and is always careful to strip and photograph them after each killing. One man dies with his mouth crammed full of ice cubes, etc. As with most Doris Wishman films, the "what the f***?" factor is always in overdrive, and with the continuity (or lack thereof) and the ridiculous outfits on Chesty and the fact that she's some kind of agent to begin with, well, that just makes the viewer gape in awe. As always we have Wishman's trademark filming of unimportant objects to draw the viewer's attention away from the dialog being dubbed in afterward. Heaven forbid that anyone would think they were watching a poorly-made film. One good thing about this is that there's some jazzy-twangy horn & guitar music, suitable for a spy movie, and not just Wishman's trademark elevator music for the background. After having watched both of Wishman's epic films with Morgan though, I can't help feeling a bit sorry for her, because she truly doesn't look very happy & I'm sure she wasn't the most comfortable person in the world. But at any rate, if you're a trash/cult movie fan, you'll probably enjoy this, if you have no idea what any of this is about, you'd be best off to stay the hell away. 7 out of 10.
