American producer/director/writer Bud Pollard was one of the most prolific purveyors of ultra-low-budget films. Quite frequently, the advertising posters for Pollard's films contained a lot more excitement and "movement" than the films themselves (case in point: the early-talkie The Horror). During the 1930s and 1940s, he churned out several films for all-black audiences, bearing such enticing titles as It Happened in Harlem. Some of these efforts, notably the heavy-handed Marcus Garvey parody The Black King (1932), seemed calculated to alienate and offend the very audiences for which they were presumably intended. Probably to save a couple of hundred dollars in "talent money," Bud Pollard briefly became an actor in his 1933 production Victim of Persecution.
