Description
Death on the Cheap: A History of the B Movie and Film Noir. The origins of film noir are often shrouded in mystery, but one thing is clear - it was born out of necessity. In the 1940s and 1950s, low-budget films were produced to fill a gap in the market, using limited resources such as smaller casts, compact storylines and less lighting. These films would go on to influence a genre that would be transformed decades later. This book delves into the history of these B movies, exploring how they paved the way for the film noir genre. With a wealth of movie stills and a comprehensive filmography, Death on the Cheap is a must-have for anyone interested in the early days of cinema.
