  By the mid-1930s, cinema patrons insisted on value-for-money. Double feature programs became mandatory at all neighborhood cinemas. Usually the A feature film figured as the main attraction, and the supporting movie, the B . Sometimes that role was reversed. On many occasions picturegoers felt the unheralded B movie had actually proved more entertaining than the widely advertised A attraction. More than two hundred of these wonderful B film classics from Hollywood's golden age are described, reviewed and detailed in this book. It's a must-have for all film addicts, movie fans and nostalgia connoisseurs.
