Louis Garfinkle, who later co-wrote The Deer Hunter for Michael Cimino, wrote and directed Beautiful People, a 1970 film about an encounter group led by a charlatan. It bombed, but was later reissued with nude scenes and a ridiculous framing device and new campaign attempting to cash in on the current box-office smash The Exorcist (1973). With Sonja Dunson (Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song), Leigh Heine from Your Three Minutes Are Up as "Boobs," Harvey "Forman" Shain (Lady Godiva Rides), Lisa Todd from The Doll Squad, William The Black Gestapo Quinn, and Ann Staunton (The Vampire) as "Mrs. Ding-Dong." Steve The Muthers Vincent was the quack doctor/devil.
