Alfred Sole was born on July 2, 1943, in Paterson, NJ. He grew up avidly watching the movies of Alfred Hitchcock, who later was an acknowledged influence on Sole's best known and most well-regarded feature, Alice, Sweet Alice (1976), better known as "Alice, Sweet Alice."
Sole graduated from the University of Florence in Italy with a degree in architecture and spent his young adulthood working as an architect. He made his directorial debut with the tongue-in-cheek hardcore parody Deep Sleep (1972), which starred 1970s porno superstars Harry Reems and Georgina Spelvin. It won first prize at the New York Erotic Film Festival and was made in Sole's hometown of Paterson on a paltry $25,000 budget. Alas, the movie was pulled from theaters on charges that it was obscene, and all prints were confiscated.
Sole's superbly atmospheric and vehemently anti-Catholic horror winner "Alice, Sweet Alice" fared much better with critics and audiences alike. It won first prize at the Chicago Film Festival and garnered highly positive reviews from critics, among them Roger Ebert. The film also boasted a then-unknown Brooke Shields in her film debut and was also shot on location in Paterson. Alas, it, too, did poorly at the box office due to spotty distribution.
Sole next made the quirky and kinky soft-core fantasy outing Tanya's Island (1980), which starred future Prince protégé Vanity acting under the pseudonym D.D. Winters and showcased a remarkably convincing ape costume designed by Rob Bottin. Unfortunately, this film likewise suffered from virtually nonexistent theatrical distribution. Sole's final film as director was the silly slasher-movie spoof Pandemonium (1982), which offered an amazing all-star cast that included Tom Smothers, Phil Hartman, Tab Hunter, Eileen Brennan, Carol Kane, Eve Arden, Judge Reinhold, Kaye Ballard, Paul Reubens, and David L. Lander all doing their best with a dopey script. Sole also wrote stories for episodes of the TV shows Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1985), Friday the 13th: The Series (1987), and Hotel (1983).
Fed up with studio politics and the Hollywood rat race, Sole called it a day as a director in 1982 and went on to become a successful production designer. Among the movies he has worked on in this capacity are Halloweentown High (2004), These Old Broads (2001), Clubland (1999), Wishmaster 2: Evil Never Dies (1999), Glory Daze (1995), Bodily Harm (1995), and Night of the Running Man (1995). More recently, Sole handled production-designer chores on the TV series Veronica Mars (2004).- Producer

Writer/director/producer Don Schain made his feature debut with the softcore outing The Love Object (1970). A former Manhattan movie theater manager, Schain and his partner Ralph T. Desiderio conceived the idea for the notoriously trashy "Ginger" exploitation picture trilogy in 1970. Schain wrote and directed all three of these immensely popular cult films: Ginger (1971), The Abductors (1972) and Girls Are for Loving (1973). The "Ginger" flicks starred brassy blonde Cheri Caffaro as a sexy yet tough female James Bond-style crimefighter who used harsh and aggressive methods to nail the villains. Don subsequently directed Caffaro in the equally sleazy drive-in items A Place Called Today (1972) and Too Hot to Handle (1977). Schain and Caffaro were married for a while, but eventually divorced. Don subsequently remarried. Schain produced a large volume of successful made-for-TV films; he did most of said television movies for the Disney Channel. Don frequently collaborated with director Blair Treu. He was the president of the Motion Picture Association of Utah and lived in Salt Lake City, Utah. Schain died at age 74 on December 26, 2015.- Melissa Smith was born on 4 July 1957 in Salt Lake CIty, Utah, USA. She died on 18 October 1974 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.

John Bocchicchio was an actor, known for Poseidon (2006), The Green Hornet (2011) and Lions for Lambs (2007). He died on 19 May 2023 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.- Francis L. Urry was a Utah-based actor. His career in speech and drama began in 1937 as a private teacher, and then he worked at radio station KSL in Salt Lake City for many years. As his career progressed, he performed on network radio and television, and appeared in live theater productions. Urry chose to remain in Utah rather than seeking a more visible career in Los Angeles or New York for that is where he wished to raise his family. This led to his appearance in several films produced by Brigham Young University for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. In these films he commonly was one of the few professional actors in the cast, often playing "fatherly" roles. He is probably best known today for his role as a trader running a small store on a small Polynesian island during the 19th Century in the inspirational short film Johnny Lingo (1969). Although this film did not deal with religious subjects and was widely shown in public schools, Catholic schools, and even within corporations, it became principally viewed by multiple generations of Mormon high school students in religious "Seminary" classes and has become part of Latter Day Saint culture. Urry's most notable film performance was in the central role of Windows of Heaven (1963) where he portrayed the aged, 85 year old president of the Mormon Church Lorenzo Snow. His performance was made more remarkable by the fact that he realistically played a figure about 30 years older than himself. Urry also worked as a narrator for some programs with The Mormon Tabernacle Choir and appeared in independent feature films such as The Hideout (1977) .
