Monogram Pictures Corporation, one of several famed "poverty row" studios, produced over 700 feature films--cheap, often inept, frequently forgettable, but so inexpensive profit was unavoidable. The Bowery Boys and Charlie Chan series were extremely popular. This, the first such reference book, corrects errors in other sources while giving movie titles, casts, credits, plot synopses, running times, release dates, alternate and remake titles. “a wonderful reference work...complete”― Midnight Marquee ; “a valuable reference record that includes these films’ cast and credits, production data, release date and a plot synopsis”― American Cinematographer ; “excellent comprehensive index”― Film Review Annual ; “a studious work of reference, which includes 65 photographs...a must for your reference library”― Nostalgia Westerns ; “provides a chronological filmography of every Monogram release”― Sightlines ; “detailed...information hard to obtain elsewhere”― Interzone ; “a real prize”― Film & History ; “provides a chronological filmography of every Monogram release”― Sightlines. Ted Okuda is a Chicago-based film historian whose articles have appeared in such publications as Nostalgia Digest, Filmfax, and Classic Images. Used Book in Good Condition
