 The author provides excellent backgrounds on most of the Poverty Row film studios, including Monogram, Producers Releasing Corporation (PRC), their origins, and sorts out mergers such as Eagle Lion and Allied Artists.

 Rated 8/10
"Most books on the subject of film noir cover only well-known movies in their filmographies, such as The Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity, Out of the Past, The Postman Always Rings Twice, and so on. But these were all A productions. What Mr. Lyons has done is dust off those B films that have been sitting on studio shelves, those which rarely, if ever, appear on television, even at three in the morning, and has some fun doing it. Thankfully, the terms 'mise-en-scene,' 'aesthetic reversals,' and 'rhetorical form' do not appear in his text."

-- Gerald Petievich, author of the books To Live and Die in L.A. and Shakedown
