You're quite right about Joe Dante. Borges.
Couldn't remember his name. Spielberg caught Corman's eye while Spielberg was at USC.
What was cool about Corman was that he'd write, direct and make a film. Sell it to distributors for strings of Drive-Ins. Take that money and make another film. A simple procedure that worked. Over and over again.
I guess that after attaining an Engineering Degree, Corman hated to waste time and money. Historically, Corman almost always brought in films under-time and under budget.

It's been said that Corman's films in the late 50s and early 60s were precursors to the Hippie films of the late 60s and 70s. Usually a member of a younger generation would come to forcibly remove a member of an aging and decrepit generation...the latter usually being played by Vincent Price.

I believe that Corman never lost any money on any picture that he made.
