Exploitation Films from the 30ties to the 60ties,
By Cyberbambi123 (Zürich - Switzerland / Europe) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Forbidden Fruit: The Golden Age of the Exploitation Film (Paperback)
Interesting Work about Exploitation Films vom 1930 to 1965. The Book treats mainly older and very old "Educational-films" like "Sex Maniac", "Cocaine" "Marihuana", "Delinquent Daughters" .... Unfortunately the "Nudies"-Exploitations films of the 70ties or the "Blackploitation"-Films (Sweet Sweetback'S Baadassss Song)are not covered at all.
