  New York's repertory movie houses specialized in presenting films ignored by mainstream and art house audiences. Operating on shoestring budgets in funky settings, each repertory had its own personality, reflecting the preferences of the proprietor. Focusing on the the active years from 1960 to 1994, this book documents the repertory movement in the context of economics and film culture.
