From there, Barbara worked on a variety of movies Roger shot in the Phillipines, like NIGHT OF THE COBRA WOMAN, THE HOT BOX, and THE BIG BUST-OUT! We discuss what it was like to work on those movies, how Barbara worked her way up to joining the Editor’s Union and landing a job at Cop Rock, the short-lived police procedural musical, and why it was her favorite job. We also discuss I ESCAPED FROM DEVIL’S ISLAND, TOO HOT TO HANDLE, and why Wonder Woman was not her favorite project to work on.
We could not have been more thrilled to talk with Barbara Pokras, one of Corman’s original film school graduates, and we know you’ll love our discussion as much as we did! And when you’re done, don’t forget to pick up her book, Feeding Mrs. Moskowitz, here.
