Riassunto:

By the famous Big Reel columnist: the story of serials from Universal’s 1930 The Indians Are Coming to Columbia’s 1956 Blazing the Overland Trail. Fifteen fascinating chapters explain the importance of “cliffhangers” to the industry as audience builders and “product leaders.” The serials provided training for actors and served as a “technical university” for people who later made the television industry work. An appendix lists in order of release all of the sound serials from 1930 through 1956, showing titles, releasing companies, chapter titles, directors and several cast members. Superb photographs.

Informazioni sull'autore: The late William C. Cline was a widely known movie serials specialist who wrote a popular column for Big Reel. He lived in Concord, North Carolina.
