Movie Reviews of Schlock! The Secret History of American Movies
Movie Review: fairly entertaining doc on SCHLOCK
Summary: 4 Stars
Header pretty much says it. B-movie lovers should enjoy this one. Found the visit to Harry Novak's studio worth the price of admission alone, although they did leave out low-budget filmmakers like Andy Milligan, Brownrigg
(the guy who made Don't Look in the Basement) Ed Wood & some others. On the other hand, you get interviews with the one and only Roger Corman, Sam Arkoff, Doris Wishman, David Friedman, etc., etc.--not to mention plenty of T & A footage.
Like I said: it's for those who grew up on B-movies and continue to have an appreciation for them. Grab a brewskie, a bag of popcorn, sit back and enjoy.
Summary of Schlock! The Secret History of American Movies
In the tradition of A Decade Under The Influence Schlock: The Secret History Of American Movies surveys one of the most fertile yet underappreciated eras of American cinema: the 1950s and '60s. During this period a talented group of independent filmmakers churned out scores of imaginative no-holds-barred exploitation films and b-movies that thrilled drive-in audiences pushed creative boundaries and offered the perfect training ground for nascent filmmakers like Peter Bogdanovich and Francis Ford Coppola. This fascinating documentary examines the golden age of schlock through interviews with the era's key players including legendary producer Sam Ark off sexploitation queen Doris Washman b-movie maestro Roger Carmen and many more schlock icons.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: DOCUMENTARIES/MISC.
