    Rollerball – Part 1

    by

    One of the UA titles from the first contract and one that Derek edited using a portable 35mm projector! It was this film and the now regular use of 35mm as master material that lead us to use Ken Locke & Keith Wilton to do much of our editing. Label was designed by our regular…

    The Treasure Of Sierra Madre – Part 1

    by

    Another superb quality black and white title from the United Artist’s contract. This 1948 film earned itself three Academy Awards and starred Humphrey Bogart, Walter Huston and Tim Holt. I’m afraid that I don’t posses many of the UA/WB inlay labels as they were shipped over to our plastic clamshell packaging manufactures, so they could…

    The Sea Wolves

    by

    Another of the titles we were able to obtain from Rank Film distributors during the deluge of full length feature we acquired from so many distributors. Walton Films had already issued a 400′ edition, but this sold fairly well. Label designed by Dave Worrall and printed by myself. Label courtesy of Peter Brooke at ‘SPROCKETS’…

    Carry On At Your Convenience

    A further example of the numerous films we issued from Rank Film Distributors following their decision to give us carte blanche on almost any title we came across. Label designed by Dave Worrall and printed at Derann by myself. Label courtesy of Peter Brooke at ‘SPROCKETS’

    Whow Dares Wins

    One of the titles we were able to obtain from Rank Film distributors during the deluge of full length feature we acquired from so many distributors. Label designed by Dave Worrall and although the artwork looks fairly simple I don’t recall it being printed by myself. Label courtesy of Peter Brooke at ‘SPROCKETS’

    That’s Entertainment 2  

    by

    A sequel that was for me just a little disappointing. The original was still selling very well and it was inevitable that Derek would ask Ken Films to apply for the OK from MGM. Unlike the original we released this as a 4×600′.  Label was designed by Dave Worrall and was printed out. Label courtesy…

    Although this British comedy had previously been available as an edited feature from Walton Films, Derek was confident that if released in colour it would be a ‘winner’. It was released as a 600′ (don’t recall a feature) it was a great success and continued to sell until we closed the doors.  Label, which was…

    World Cup Munich

    by

    This was something of a trial for ourselves, sport in general wasn’t something we traded in. As far as I can recall we issued four games to test the water so to speak. However I believe that was all that ever appeared. Label was designed by Marianne Frost and printed inhouse by myself. Label courtesy…
