   (Review this title)
excellent documentary, 7 May 2001
Author: Tony Rome from Long Island, New york

This documentary covers about 25years worth of films made by American International Pictures. It is fantastic to see now famous film stars in some of their earliest roles, and old stars on their way down. AIP gave the young actors like jack Nicolson, and Bruce Dern a testing ground, or start point in their soon to be, versitile careers. Stars like Vincent Price, and Ray Milland can also be seen in the films of AIP. Roger Corman made many of his funny, cheap, horror Drive in classics at this studio. They mass produced the films as fast as they could find actors, the films would go on to gross quite alot of money.
