Rise in The Sexploitation Genre
When beginning her work in the sexploitation genre, she decided to use a pseudonym, "Louis Silverman". One of her first films for the genre Bad Girls Go to Hell (1965), would be considered one of her earliest successes of the genre. This film was her first collaboration with her long-time cinematographer C. Davis Smith, who would work with Wishman until her death. Most of these films were shot in black and white. In 1968 with her film Love Toy she began shooting in color as she went on to do soft-core films. Her biggest claim to fame was when she went on to direct two films with the sexploitation starlet, Chesty Morgan. The films Deadly Weapons and Double Agent 73 featured Morgan with her massive 73-inch bust, in the vein of fellow sexploitation works of filmmakers like Russ Meyer. The Chesty Morgan films had a high camp factor with scenes that featured Morgan taking off her top with sound effects accompanying it to convey the massiveness of her breasts.

Famous quotes containing the words rise and/or genre:
“May not the complaint, that common people are above their station, often take its rise in the fact of uncommon people being below theirs?”
—Charles Dickens (1812–1870)
“We ignore thriller writers at our peril. Their genre is the political condition. They massage our dreams and magnify our nightmares. If it is true that we always need enemies, then we will always need writers of fiction to encode our fears and fantasies.”
