Movie References
Thriller (They Call Her One Eye) – The film came out in 1973 and even the trailer requests a age verification. I probably won’t watch don’t need that imagery in my life. It really does look rough. Here’s the IMDB link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072285/?ref_=fn_al_tt_2
The Flying Guillotine – the film was released in 1975 and looks crazy! Here’s the IMDB link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0071512/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
The Wicked Dreams of Paula Schultz – From 1968, the movie description is as crazy as Josh said, “A beautiful East German Olympic hopeful pole-vaults over the Berlin Wall to freedom.” Here’s the IMDB link: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063805/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
