Was I hallucinating last year, or did Roger Corman receive a honorary lifetime-achievement Oscar ? An unrivaled one-man schlock factory, Corman produced and/or directed hundreds of films, and if they turned out well it was mostly by accident or by virtue of his talent at hiring film-school grads to knock off pulp assignments on ridiculously stingy budgets. In fact, for several generations now Corman’s penny-crazed movie mill has been more famous for producing auteurs than terrific films.
