In the words of Richard Maltby . . . "Maximum Movies--Pulp Fictions
describes two improbably imbricated worlds and the piece of
cultural history their intersections provoked." One of these worlds
comprises a clutch of noisy, garish pulp movies--"Kiss Me Deadly,
Shock Corridor, Fixed Bayonets , I Walked with a Zombie, The
Lineup, Terror in a Texas Town, Ride Lonesome"--pumped out for the
grind houses at the end of the urban exhibition chain by the
studios' B-divisions and fly-by-night independents. The other is
occupied by critics, intellectuals, cinephiles, and filmmakers such
as Jean-Luc Godard, Manny Farber, and Lawrence Alloway, who
championed the cause of these movies and incited the cultural
guardians of the day by attacking a rigorously policed canon of
tasteful, rarified, and ossified art objects. Against the
legitimate, and in defense of the illegitimate, in an insolent and
unruly manner, they agitated for the recognition of lurid
sensational crime stories, war pictures, fast-paced Westerns,
thrillers, and gangster melodramas were claimed as examples of the
true, the real, and the authentic in contemporary culture--the
foundation upon which modern film studies sits.
