Great documentary on AIP, 28 May 2001
Author: Schlockmeister from Midnight Movie Land

It's nice to see American Internationsl Pictures get their due like this. AIP truly resurrected the movies business during a time when TV was making inroads and Hollywood was severely threatened. The teenage market had been all but ignored and AIP filled that gap and the rest, as they often say, is history. Many clips are included, old beloved trailers and interviews with many people including Roger Corman, Bruce Dern and the surviving half of the team at the helm, Samuel Z. Arkoff present a great picture of the studio and it's place in movie history. This documentary is almost too short and is definately worth seeking out and seeing. It would go well sandwiched in between a couple of AIP's 1950s classic movies to make a mini-film festival in your home.
