From the archives: Roger Corman, "King of the B Movies"

Filmmaker Roger Corman, who was legendary for producing or directing hundreds of low-budget exploitation films and horror/sci-fi flicks, died May 9, 2024, at age 98. In this "Sunday Morning" profile that originally aired February 26, 2012, Corman talked with correspondent Mo Rocca about making films geared towards teenage audiences; creatively solving problems he couldn’t throw money at; and how his movies were a launching pad for such Hollywood A-listers as Francis Ford Coppola, Martin Scorsese and Sandra Bullock.

The man who never lost any money making movies. RIP Roger Corman

I've loved "Not of this Earth" ever since I was a little kid. And I'm about to turn 70.

[@rubbersoul3723]

Watching from the State of Rhode Island-thank you CBS-SM for reposting this-because I missed it the first time-but more so because Roger really-is-a national treasure-making sure to remind Hollywood-& the rest of us-of the value of not taking ourselves too seriously-THANK YOU ROGER.😇

I wish I cared, just the King of Schlockmeister movies doesn't interest me now.

[@mattbosley3531]

If you really didn't care then why did you click on this video and post a comment?

[@markbisi8407]

Google “people who got their start working for Roger Corman” and tell me you’re not interested. Not an exaggeration to say that your favorite movies may not exist without this guy.
