Pine-Thomas Productions
Encyclopedia
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 1903-2 April 1984) were known as the "Dollar Bills" because none of their economically made films ever lost money.
In 1957 Pine-Thomas moved from Paramount to United Artists
and continued with their films. Thomas produced three more films in the late 1970s.
