Page "Sam Katzman" Paragraph 16

New Orleans Uncensored ( Castle, 1955 ) was a true-crime drama, exposing the seamy underside of the Big Easy ; It Came from Beneath the Sea ( Robert Gordon, 1955 ) served primarily as a showcase for Ray Harryhausen ’ s stop motion special effects ; Fred F. Sears ’ Teen-Age Crime Wave ( 1955 ) was a surprisingly stark nod to the country ’ s new awareness of the problem of juvenile delinquency.

Rock Around the Clock ( Sears, 1956 ) was one of the first rock -' n '- roll movies to be released by a major studio, based upon Katzman ’ s intuition that rock music would soon be a major force in American culture ; and Miami Exposé ( Sears, 1956 ) starred Lee J. Cobb in a neo-realist tale of big-city corruption, with spirited support from Alan Napier and Edward Arnold.
