From the rear cover: "For nearly 50 years the motion-picture chapter play was a vibrant part of our country?s pop-culture scene. Following their favorite serials turned moviegoing into a weekly habit for millions of Americans. During the silent-film era, episodic thrillers were marketed to adults and children alike, but their emphasis on base melodrama and contrived thrills appealed more to kids. Those youthful habitués of Saturday matinees faithfully followed serials and retained fond memories of them. Subsequent generations discovered cliffhanger classics via later broadcasts on TV and reissues in collectable home-video formats.The 20 essays herein focus on chapter plays of unusual quality and significance; they are not the typical puff pieces generally found in bookson this subject. Each article has been carefully researched and supplemented with first-hand recollections f people who worked in serials.".
