Republic Pictures Corporation, begun as a motion picture laboratory in 1915, by 1935 had become a studio and released its first movie, Westward Ho! Republic would go on to produce numerous successful films. Occasionally, it would do "A" features, such as Sands of Iwo Jima and The Quiet Man, but it was the westerns and adventure serials that Republic knew best. Until its demise in 1959, Republic Pictures fed hungry moviegoers a steady diet of Westerns and serials, along with dramas, series pictures and musicals. This exhaustive checklist gives full cast and credits, plot synopses, release dates, alternate titles, chapter titles and awards.
