Republic Studios produced a lot of B movies and serials up until the 1950s. While you can consider them one of the Poverty Row outfits (and I don't use that term pejoratively), their movies may be cheap, but they were action-packed, fun cliff-hangers that filled the theaters week after week. One of the earliest studios to provide the burgeoning television market with their movies, the shift from theater to television viewing eventually shut down its feature film production. Here are some Mexican lobby cards to savor.
Trader Tom of the China Seas (1954)
Canadian Mounties vs. Atomic Invaders (1953)
The Invisible Monster (1950)
Harbor of Missing Men (1950)
