by Roger Corman

"A splendidly instructive and entertaining contribution to film history and a quick lesson on the efficient showstring style of filmmaking by a maverick genius of innovation and exploitation. . . . Corman teaches, as well as delights".--"Choice". 39 photos.


From the publisher

In these pages Roger Corman, the most successful independent filmmaker in Hollywood relates his experiences as the director and/or producer of such low-budget classics Attack of the Crab Monsters, The Little Shop of Horrors, The Raven, The Man with the X-ray Eyes, The Wild Angels, The Trip, Night Call Nurses, Bloody Mama, Piranha, and many others. He also discusses his distribution of the Bergman, Fellini, and Truffaut movies that later won Academy Awards in the Best Foreign Film category. Corman alumni--John Sayles, Martin Scorsese, Jack Nicholson, Vincent Price, Francis Ford Coppola, Peter Bogdanovich, Peter Fonda, Joe Dante, and Jonathan Demme, among others--contribute their recollections to give added perspective to Corman's often hilarious, always informative autobiography.
