Pine-Thomas Productions

Pine-Thomas Productions

Pine-Thomas Productions was the prolific B-picture unit of Paramount Pictures from 1940-1957, producing 81 films. Co-producers William H. Pine (15 February 1896-29 April 1955) and William C. Thomas (11 August 1903-3 April 1984) were known as the "Dollar Bills" because none of their economically made films ever lost money. [ Dick, Bernard F "Engulfed-The Death of Paramount Pictures and the Birth of Corporate Hollywood" p.33 University Press of Kentucky 2001]

In 1957 Pine-Thomas moved from Paramount to United Artists [ [http://www.blockbuster.com/outlet/catalog/personDetails/48993 Blockbuster Online - Person Detail Information Page ] ] and continued with their films.
