Allied Artists retained a few vestiges of its Monogram identity, continuing its popular Stanley Clements action series (through 1953), its B-Westerns (through 1954), its Bomba, the Jungle Boy adventures (through 1955) using Johnny Sheffield, "Boy" of the Tarzan films, and especially its breadwinning comedy series with The Bowery Boys (through 1958, with Clements replacing Leo Gorcey). For the most part, Allied Artists was heading in new, ambitious directions under Mirisch. It released the first Cinecolor science fiction film "Flight to Mars", then its greatest artistic success a low-budget film firmly in the Monogram tradition, Don Siegel's "Invasion of the Body Snatchers", released by Allied in 1956.
