Do you remember the first movie you ever owned? It was probably a
product of Castle Films. Before home video, Castle Films made every
living room a screening room.
For four decades the 16mm and 8mm film products of Castle Films
were sold in every department store and hobby shop. Castle had
big-screen movies for everybody: comedies with Abbott &
Costello, The Marx Brothers, and W. C. Fields...monster movies with
Frankenstein, Dracula, and the Wolfman...cartoons with Woody
Woodpecker, Chilly Willy, and Mighty Mouse...westerns with Clint
Eastwood, John Wayne, and James Stewart...travelogues of the
world's picturesque places...newsreels of major headline
stories...musicals with top singers and bandleaders.
Collectors have always wanted a reference book detailing the
total output of Castle Films. Here it is. "Castle Films: A
Hobbyist's Guide" is a complete filmography of every title printed
between 1937 and 1977. For handy reference, there are separate
indexes by title, subject, and serial number, a listing of Castle's
color film releases, and a special section "decoding" Castle's
various pseudonym titles and disclosing the "true identities" of
many films.
"Castle Films: A Hobbyist's Guide" is a fascinating, nostalgic
look at one of the pioneers of home entertainment.
