Any reason why some of the studios drastically cut back on releases?
There was also the fact that some of the studios' top names were off fighting in the war or were away entertaining troops overseas, so these people were not available to be cast in new productions.
We will see a slight increase in releases in 1946, then it normalizes between 1947 and 1952. But after '52, the impact of television on the film industry slows everything down again. Studios like Columbia, Republic, RKO and Monogram did keep their B-film units going until 1952/53. But eventually even those studios did stop making B-pictures...the producers, directors and stars who had specialized in B films began moving over into television full-time. |
