Produktbeschreibung

Explosive! Terrifying! You won't believe your eyes! Such movie taglines were common in the 1950s, as Hollywood churned out low-budget pictures that were sold on the basis of their sensational content. This title examines seven of these film cycles, including short-lived trends like boxing movies, war pictures, and social problem films, as well as uniquely 1950s takes on established genres like the gangster picture.
