A two page article from the December 1961 issue:  I’m a big Elvis fan so this release is a personal favourite. This was one of the Elvis Presley features we picked up from Grand National, the contract had consisted of the western ‘Last Train from Gun Hill’ and six Elvis Presley films : ‘G.I. Blues’,…

A page from an unknown issue: This 1971 Hammer horror is my least favourite Hammer ‘Mummy’ outing… The whole film just feels flat and that damn hand is awful! I’m aware there were many problems during it’s production, but I somehow don’t think that Peter Cushing would have helped. All of my personal miss-givings for…

A souvenir brochure heads this post. I recall seeing this at the Odeon Wolverhampton and if I’m honest was a little disappointed. I think I was expecting another ‘Ten Commandments’ Perhaps it just couldn’t cope with all the stories that are presented within its near 3 hour running time. I don’t recall what they decided…

This colourful souvenir brochure introduces us to one of my own very favourite Disney features, even more enjoyable than Mary Poppins in my humble opinion. Angela Lansbury plays apprentice witch Miss Eglantine Price, who finds herself looking after three children evacuees during WW2, all who go in search for a missing component to a magic…

A three page article from the February 1964 issue: This 200′ Pathe News has been available from any number of 8mm distributors, with numerous bootleg prints under various titles being retailed over the years. However our association and ongoing  contracts did allow us to issue this in colour and legally for the first time around…

A nice 4 page campaign book opens a look at this popular title. Released in 1942, this was Walt Disney’s fifth full length feature and was Derann’s tenth Disney feature release. One from the titles from the Golden age of  Walt Disney, an era of undisputed classics that remain an essential part of the legacy…

Three pages from an early issue introduce this Associated British-Pathé  WW2 drama from 1952. I’m afraid I generally find this kind of British movie wooden and laden with stiff upper lipped chaps telling each other about the loved ones back home. But thank goodness Powell Films thought otherwise and issued this story of an RAF…

A two page article from the February 1980 issue: I saw this supernatural thriller at a cinema on Hollywood Boulevard while on a business trip with Derek. A near full house and a noisy crowd, but we enjoyed the film. Ken Films issued the title as a 400′ and it sold very well.  

A page article from the ABC Film Review, July 1976 issue: This is an American biographical political drama-thriller film about the Watergate scandal that brought down the presidency of Richard Nixon and was based on the book by Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward, the two journalists investigating the Watergate scandal for The Washington Post. The…

A four page article from the October 1979 issue: This science fiction thriller really lives up to its reputation… even now I find the suspense and jump scares still work well and I’ve seen it more times than I care to admit. I first saw this at a cinema in New York’s Times Square in…
