MaxRosenberg, a veteran movie producer best known for cult horror classics such as "Tales From the Crypt" and "Dr. Terror's House of Horrors" as well as the early rock 'n' roll movies "Jamboree" and "Rock, Rock, Rock!" died Monday after a brief illness.
Rosenberg unique, Bartok said, "was a combination of commercial savvy -- he was always able to tap into the zeitgeist, whether it was rock 'n' roll in the late '50s or the explosion of drive-in movies and supernatural and horror films.
Rosenberg was honored with a tribute by the American Cinematheque and appeared at screenings of his films at the annual Festival of Fantasy, Horror and Science Fiction.
The primary interest of the FBI in Ethel Rosenberg in July of 1950, lay in the possibility of threatening her with prosecution as a means of convincing Julius to talk.
Both Rosenbergs pleaded the Fifth Amendment in response to all questions concerning their membership in the Communist Party, most likely to head off potential questions about other acquaintances who might be members of their spy network.
Julius Rosenberg testified as to his modest lifestyle, inconsistent-- it was suggested by the defense-- with the rewards one would expect a world class spy to have received.
