The War of the Roses
Prepare the water hose, The Sin Syndicate, writer/researcher Gentry Austin and adult film historian Casey Scott, are opening the valve on William L. Rose, the mysterious director of the 1965 roughie, “Rent-A-Girl.” Best known for directing the gothic-giallo “The Girl in Room 2A," Rose got his start writing and directing sexploitation, but maybe not all the films he's credited with. Join us as we look at his directorial debut, and how another character, Werner Rose, fits into this surprisingly complicated saga.
