Book review – “The Films of Roger Corman” by Alan Frank

I have a lot of affection for Frank because I loved his book on science fiction films, which I read and re-read in the 80s – come to think of it, that was the first place I heard about Roger Corman. This book follows a similar format of the sci-fi one: a list of films (in chronological order though not alphabetical), brief credits, a short synopsis and opinion from Frank, lots of quotes from other reviewers, plenty of pictures. 

Problem is there’s little here that’s new if you’ve read even one other decent book on Corman, especially Ed Naha’s. I think the one new tidbit I learned was Sally Kellerman of all people had some input to the script of Little Shop of Horrors.
