This is a TERRIFIC video detailing the life of the "thrill studio" of the 30's - late 50's, REPUBLIC PICTURES. Best known for their serials, REPUBLIC PICTURES story also reveals a bit about their magnificent "B" westerns and then their gradual move into "A" films and finally to their decay and close. When Repubolic Pictures closed their doors, it was the end of an era. Excellent video, well worth the time and money spent.
