Back in the 1950s you probably didn't think that much about the men who made the thrilling serials and B-movies that made every Saturday morning at the local theater the best day of the week. But Francis M. Nevins did. He became an old movie nut, and watched practically every B-movie and Republic serial available on film and videotape. Then, as an Edgar-winning mystery writer he met many of the men who directed the black & white thrillers and cliffhangers that we still love so much, and has chronicled 37 of his favorite directors and their films.
