Unlike Edgar Kennedy, I was familiar with the name of Charlie Chase as I’d seen ‘Another Wild Idea’ which had featured a ray which had temporarily rid him of his inhibitions and landed him in hilarious trouble. This was another small group of titles Derek decided to issue along with the Edgar Kennedy, Leon Errol and Gil Lamb comedy shorts. Again Derek was able to use 16mm lavender prints as the master material resulting in some nice quality Super 8 prints. Our 1967 sales catalogue list just three titles. ‘Another Wild Idea’, ‘Cracked Ice Man’ and ‘Fallen Arches’. Here are all three, with only the title and a simple image different for each label. An idea used to save on time and money and suggested by our artist and label designer, Marianne Frost. Printed by myself inhouse.
