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 1903-3 April 1984) were known as the "Dollar Bills" because none of their economically made films ever lost money.[1]

In 1957 Pine-Thomas moved from Paramount to United Artists[2] and continued with their films.[3] Thomas produced three more films in the late 1970s.
