Kroger Babb, the man behind Mom and Dad, spliced color medical footage of a baby's birth into his black and white "classic."Russ Meyer, John Waters, Andy Milligan, Doris Wishman, and many others are covered. "Classic" films such as The Immoral Mr. Teas, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Nude on the Moon are examined. Production techniques and innovations are also discussed.
