Description: "In this updated edition of Republic Studios: Between Poverty Row and the Majors, Richard M. Hurst documents the influence and significance of this major B studio. Originally published in 1979, this book provides a brief overview of the studio's economic structure, and charts its output. Hurst examines the various genres represented by the studio, including the comedies of Judy Canova and Westerns featuring Autry, Rogers, and the Three Mesquiteers. This book also addresses the nonseries B films Republic produced, as well as such rare films as Wake of the Red Witch, Sands of Iwo Jima, and John Ford's the Quiet Man, all starring John Wayne."--book jacket.
