Synopsis: Features the complete shooting scripts of three Depression-era films directed by independent filmmaker Dwain Esper. A topic of growing interest among cinema aficionados and scholars, the lowbrow exploitation genre was the means by which small-scale entrepreneurs could compete with the major studios. Exploitation films addressed such controversial topics as drug use, prostitution, abortion, child marriage, and even bestiality-topics the major studios were forbidden to address by the Production Code Administration-salaciously exploiting the profitability of such taboo issues, while justifying their prurience by posing as educational tracts.
