Arkoff co-founded AIP and became the leading producers of low-budget drive-in movies, a fertile market ignored by the down-sizing major studios. This book combines excerpts from press kits, cast lists, suggested publicity stunts, excerpted speeches, occasional bridge notes, and other bits of public and in-house material. A lot can be scanned or skipped...you'll never remember most of it anyway. The photos are a welcome addition, short plot descriptions would've been nice since many of these titles are truly obscure. The bits that are left are interesting. Don't know if it's worth the retail price to a general reader for this scrapbook approach to AIP history which expends a lot of time on minutae. Generally, I am satisfied but because I will dock it one star. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
In the mid-1950s, American International Pictures (AIP) was the self-proclaimed "Infant of the Industry," and as such, was not perceived as a serious threat to the major studios of the time. AIP soon proved themselves worthy opponents, when their youth-oriented double features began raking in big bucks that rivaled and sometimes surpassed the profits of their competitors. The company's founders were James H. Nicholson and Samuel Z. Arkoff, and during the years they worked together as a team, AIP turned out their most imaginative movies, including I Was a Teenage Werewolf, Beach Party, and the Roger Corman/Vincent Price/Edgar Allen Poe films. This is the story of those years told mainly using the material gathered by AIPs New York publicist. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
