Roger Corman: Metaphysics on a Shoestring

by Alain Silver

Roger Corman: Metaphysics on a Shoestring Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

From a certain perspective, Corman just might be one of the most influential filmmakers in the history of motion pictures. That's because, along the way to directing and producing more than 200 films, he ran a de facto school for young filmmakers, the alumni of which have garnered more awards and made more money than any other group in film history. Illustrated.

Book News Annotation:

Roger Corman is considered by many to be the king of the B-movie, having directed such films as Bloody Mama, The Last Woman on Earth, "X": The Man with the X-Ray Eyes, Machine Gun Kelly, and She Gods of Shark Reef. This text profiles 50 of Corman's films, summarizing plots and commenting on themes. Corman's own brief comments on each film also appear. The text also lists films co- directed, produced, or written by Corman, along with those in which he appears as an actor.
