List Of Monogram And Allied Artists Releases
This is a list of feature films originally released and/or distributed by Monogram Pictures and Allied Artists Pictures Corporation. Most of Monogram/Allied Artists' post-August 17, 1946 library is currently owned by Warner Bros. Entertainment, while 187 pre-August 18, 1946 Monogram films are owned by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer and select post-1938 Monogram films are owned by Paramount Pictures. Monogram was established in 1931, and concentrated on low-budget releases. In 1935 it was merged into the conglomerate formed by Herbert Yates as Republic Pictures, but in 1937 was re-established as an independent studio. In 1947 a separate subsidiary Allied Artists was established with the intention of releasing some higher-budget films than traditionally associated with the company.

Monogram Pictures
Monogram Pictures Corporation was an American film studio that produced mostly low-budget films between 1931 and 1953, when the firm completed a transition to the name Allied Artists Pictures Corporation. Monogram was among the smaller studios in the golden age of Hollywood, generally referred to collectively as Poverty Row. Lacking the financial resources to deliver the lavish sets, production values, and star power of the larger studios, Monogram sought to attract its audiences with the promise of action and adventure. The company's trademark is now owned by Allied Artists International. The original sprawling brick complex which functioned as home to both Monogram and Allied Artists remains at 4376 Sunset Drive, utilized as part of the Church of Scientology Media Center (formerly KCET's television facilities). History Monogram was created in the early 1930s from two earlier companies; W. Ray Johnston's Rayart Productions (renamed Raytone when sound pictures came in) and Tre ...
