  Presents a social and cultural history of exploitation films. Analysing many films, such as The Road to Ruin , Modern Motherhood , and more, this book demonstrates that these films were more than simply 'bad' movies. It shows how they evolved during a period of forty years and how, during that time, they shaped public policies and attitudes.
