    Roger Corman: King of the B Movie

    A lively, affectionate oral history of a prolific low‑budget moviemaker and his B‑movie empire, showing how thrift, improvisation, and an uncanny eye for young talent reshaped mid‑century American cinema. Through behind‑the‑scenes anecdotes and critical context, it traces the making of schlocky creature features, teen pictures and exploitation fare, examines how those cheap films launched the careers of future stars and auteurs, and argues for the lasting cultural influence of commercial savvy and creative risk‑taking.
