Hal Roach's Streamliners : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hal Roach's Streamliners Hal Roach's Streamliners were a series of featurette comedy films created by Hal Roach that were longer than a short subject and less than a feature film not exceeding 50 minutes in length.〔p. 53 Tzioumakis, Yannis ''American independent cinema: an introduction'' 2006 Edinburgh University Press〕 Twenty of the twenty-nine features that Roach produced for United Artists were in the streamliner format.〔 They usually consisted of five 10 minute reels.〔http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9A07E1DC1038E333A2575AC0A9669D946093D6CF〕 ==History==
Roach's studio initially produced comedy short subjects but by 1935 sensed that short subjects were on the way out.〔p.5 Maltin, Leonard ''The Great Movie Shorts'' 1972 Bonanza Books〕 As the double feature format for cinemas was then popular, when Roach began producing films for United Artists he came up with the idea of a short length film he called streamliners after the public's infatuation with the then modern and fast streamliner trains. The short length gave more room for part of a double feature program. The price of a streamliner was set at $110,000; with four streamliners being able to produced for the cost of one feature film, yet profits would bring an estimated 50 to 75% more than a single feature.〔pp. 120-121 Ward, Richard Lewis ''A History of the Hal Roach Studios'' SIU Press, 2006 〕
