To know her is to love her. Meet Francy. Or better yet, meet Curt Ledger, a name you may recognize as being attached to a notorious sexploitation film (often called the roughest roughie) called
She Came on the Bus. While that film is a “classic” voice-over narration-style piece of artless trash, Ledger was also involved with another picture, a very different, and surprisingly, very good film, called
It’s…Francy’s Friday, a coming-of-age dramedy about a not bad lookin’ chick played by the
Teenage Tramp herself, Alisha Fontaine.
Joining us to discuss all things Ledger, Fontaine, male co-star Ken Chandler, and everyone’s favorite long-haired business babe, Linda Boyce, is researcher and forgotten film explorer, Shawn D. Langrick. SDL has a personal connection to these two films, especially Francy, but you’ll have to listen to learn more. What I can tell you is that we all agreed this is a special, criminally underseen movie made with real care; a tender-hearted sex film that belies its bonafides as just another quickie Curt Ledger project. So join us for Episode 34, “
The Most Popular Gal in Town” as we kick start the ignition, engage in a little backseat action, and discuss all things Ledger,
Bus, and
Francy. Oh, and there’s also this other side-character named Hal Stone.
