She also worked entirely in sexploitation and horror, and has stubbornly resisted any attempts at canonization. Is there art in the unabashedly commercial cinema of Roberta Findlay? In this special report, Will talks to Peter Alilunas and Whitney Strub, co-editors of "ReFocus: The Films of Roberta Findlay," the first book about one of American cinema's most fascinating, challenging, and contradictory figures.
