In the late 1940s, he went to work for Columbia, cranking out serials and low-budget action pictures. \u003ci\u003eRock Around the Clock\u003c\/i\u003e (1956) was Columbia's biggest money-maker that year, after which Sam turned his attention to making movies for teenagers. He created the East Side Kids and the Jungle Jim series, and co-produced \u003ci\u003eIt Came From Beneath the Sea\u003c\/i\u003e (1955) and \u003ci\u003eEarth vs. The Flying Saucers\u003c\/i\u003e (1956).

As the company grew, he took on a lawyer as a partner, Samuel Z. Arkoff. Jim handled the creative end; Arkoff took care of the business end. The two men joked that Jim was the good cop and Arkoff was the bad cop. AIP movie milestones included \u003ci\u003eI Was a Teenage Werewolf \u003c\/i\u003e(1957), several horror films with Vincent Price that were based on Edgar Allen Poe stories, and \u003ci\u003eBeach Party\u003c\/i\u003e (1963), \u003ci\u003eMuscle Beach Party\u003c\/i\u003e (1964), \u003ci\u003eBikini Beach \u003c\/i\u003e(1964), and \u003ci\u003eFireball 500\u003c\/i\u003e (1966) with Frankie Avalon and Annette Funicello. AIP was also in the forefront of the 1960s protest pictures, such as \u003ci\u003eWild in the Streets\u003c\/i\u003e (1968).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eRoger Corman made dozens of juvenile delinquency dramas and sci-fi thrillers for American International and Allied Artists. \u003ci\u003eAttack of the Crab Monsters\u003c\/i\u003e (1957) and its companion picture, \u003ci\u003eNot of This Earth\u003c\/i\u003e (1957) were big money-makers. Corman is probably best-known for the cult classic, \u003ci\u003eThe Little Shop of Horrors\u003c\/i\u003e (1960). Every now and then, Corman worked on movies with bigger budgets, such as \u003ci\u003eThe St. Valentines Day Massacre\u003c\/i\u003e (1967), but his modestly budgeted \u003ci\u003eThe Wild Angels \u003c\/i\u003e(1966) earned more than $10 million in box office returns. He started his own successful company, New World Pictures which he sold for $16 million in the 1980s, after which he opened Concorde-New Horizons and began producing movies for the home video market. He was bestowed a special Academy Award Lifetime Achievement Award in 2009.  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eIncludes an Index, a selected Filmography, complete with behind-the-scenes information, and quotes from the critics and the exhibitors, and more than 150 photographs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"mso-pagination: none; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-autospace: none;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: Arial;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003eAbout the author: Mark Thomas McGee is the author of Invasion of the \u003ci\u003eBody Snatchers, Talk’s Cheap, Action’s Expensive; The Films of Robert L.

Nicholson and low-budget legend Roger Corman - this informative, 342-page softcover recounts their successful lives and (often cut-rate) careers, as well as how they helped save an industry struggling with the 1950s television boom. Filled with recollections from past cast\/crew members and peppered with photos, a sizeable section is devoted to each schlock kingpin. We're taken through Katzman's varied genre-outings - the Jungle Jim and East Side Kids franchises, assembly-line serials, spectacularly-awful features like The Giant Claw and The Magic Carpet - along with amusing anecdotes about his notorious cost-cutting notions. Then there's Nicholson, the creative brains behind AIP, who exploited trendy new fads, concocted savvy marketing schemes and shrewdly tapped into the profitable youth demographic. This section also sets the record straight about Nicholson's essential contribution to AIP's success, following ex-partner Sam Z. Arkoff's credit-hogging autobiography. Last but not least, McGee charts Corman's rise from directing films for Allied Artists and AIP, to creating The Filmgroup, New World and Concorde in order to tap into the distribution game, as well as the numerous opportunities he gave novice actors and filmmakers along the way. Each section concludes with a selected filmography that contains production details and critics\/exhibitors' feedback. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 12.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Helvetica; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003e\"Exceptionally well-researched and written, this is an entertaining tribute to three screen pioneers whose ideas continue to influence modern-day cinema.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Helvetica; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; color: black;\"\u003e- Shock Cinema\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003eReview from KitleysKrypt.com\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14.0pt;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic;\"\u003ehttps:\/\/www.bearmanormedia.com\/blogs\/news\/q-a-with-mark-mcgee\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BearManor Media","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48919706697960,"sku":"xgp1787307944108","price":18.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/3991\/9848\/files\/katzman-nicholson-corman-shaping-hollywoods-future-paperback_1.jpg?v=1787307951","url":"https:\/\/elitebagfashion.shop\/products\/katzman-nicholson-corman-shaping-hollywoods-future-paperback","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
