By the mid-1930s, cinema patrons insisted on value-for-money. Double feature programs became mandatory at all neighborhood cinemas. Usually the 'œA' feature film figured as the main attraction, and the supporting movie, the 'œB'. Sometimes that role was reversed. On many occasions picturegoers felt the unheralded 'œB' movie had actually proved more entertaining than the widely advertised 'œA' attraction. More than two hundred of these wonderful 'œB' film classics from Hollywood's golden age are described, reviewed and detailed in this book. It's a must-have for all film addicts, movie fans and nostalgia connoisseurs.Reid, John is the author of 'Hollywood 'b' Movies:a Treasury of Spills, Chills & Thrills A Treasury of Spills, Chills & Thrills' with ISBN 9781411650657 and ISBN 1411650654.
