Ce commentaire est de: Sex And Buttered Popcorn: Collection (DVD)
This DVD set is a great collection of campy flicks, shorts, and trailers. You get a diverse serving of full length features from the pioneering days of exploitation films, from dope maniacs to pushers to premarital relations to nudists.

I was disappointed in the documentary on the roadshows. If you know absolutely nothing about the history of exploitation films and their distribution, you will learn a little something. Unfortunately, this documentary barely scratches the surface. You get a little narrative background on the nature of these films, followed by examples via clips from the films. Problem is, these "film clips" go on and on and on, where they could have illustrated the point with just a few quick snipets. This production needed tighter editing. Too bad, because this is a fascinating subject that has the potential to be a great documentary (KEN BURNS! Are you reading this?).

David Friedman, who is featured in the documentary, wrote a really good account of his years in the roadshow and B-Movie biz called "A Youth In Babylon." Would love to see a film feature somewhere along those lines!

If you have an interest in viewing the actual exploitation films
in their entirety, this is a good find. If you want a good historical background, pass this by and hope for a better documentary up the road!
