Roger Corman's New World Pictures, 1970-1983: An Oral History, Volume 2

In 1970, Roger Corman launched his film production-distribution company New World Pictures. Over the next thirteen years, he would supervise the creation and release of more than one-hundred films, including such low-budget classics as The Big Doll House (1971), Battle Beyond the Stars (1980) and Galaxy of Terror (1981). Shot through with entertaining anecdotes about the art-and the business-of making movies, Roger Corman's New World Pictures (1970-1983): An Oral History, Volume 2 features interviews with seventeen movie professionals who worked for Corman during this charismatic and wild time in Hollywood history, among them costume designer Jane Ruhm, story editor Frances Doel, editors Mark Helfrich and Kent Beyda and directors Steve Carver, Allan Arkush and Joe Dante.
