Poverty Row

For a street or district featuring large numbers of homeless persons, see Skid row.

Poverty Row is a slang term for small Hollywood studios that produced B movies from the 1920s[1] to the 1950s, typically with much smaller budgets[2] and lower production values[3] than those of the major studios. Although many of these studios were based in the vicinity of Gower Street in Hollywood,[4] the term does not necessarily relate to any specific physical location.

Many of the films produced by Poverty Row studios were those of series in the Western, comedy, adventure and crime genres.
