Beginning on Wednesday evening, February 28, 2007, Cuyahoga Community College will offer an 8 week evening course entitled: “B”ware! Bad Movie Directors from the 50’s & Beyond! This film appreciation course is primarily a study of 3 legendary film directors of the 1950’s and 1960’s (Roger Corman, William Castle, & Ed Wood) that were famous for their output of so-called “B movies” in the science fiction, horror, and fantasy fields. A viewing of their film output on “the big screen”, as they were intended to be watched, will be supplemented with an analysis of their thematic content and a comparison with the popular culture and social/political contexts of their times. Also shown will be lesser known and contemporary examples of “cheapie B” science fiction.
