    The quality of our black and white prints of this magnificent Errol Flynn swashbuckler was out of this world, as were the majority of the films that we issued from United Artists. UA themselves felt they were special when we presented them with the new plastic clamshell cases and the classy label, which was designed…

    Another 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. The carry on’s were always a safe bet but it was still decided to produce a generic label and then just drop in the film title. Label designed by…

    Another of the numerous films we issued from Rank Film Distributors follwing their desision to give us carte blanche on almost any title we came across. Although this title had previously been available from Walton films as a 4×400′ it didn’t seem to hinder the sales of this full length feature. Label designed by Dave…

    This entertaining, though overly long musical drama from 1977, was one of the titles we picked up in our first contract with United Artists. It wasn’t something we asked for and was only taken when we saw that if we didn’t we might lose the contract altogether. With Director Martin Scorsese and starring Liza Minnelli…

It starred Jack Palance, John Terry and Bernard Bresslaw.  Label designed by Dave Worrall and printed at Derann by myself. Label courtesy of…

    by

    With Rank Film Distributors giving us the go-ahead to issue almost any of their product, the labs at Denham began a thorough search for 16mm negatives and sending us test prints. I can’t recall which of the ‘Carry ons’ was the first but they all sold fairly well and we couldn’t lose money as we…

    The Magic of Lassie

    by

    Just why we issued this family musical from 1978, is still a mystery to us all, but I believe it was partly due to it having James Stewart and Mickey Rooney in its cast but more likely because we needed another title to create a rounded figure for the contract with Enterprise Films and couldn’t…

    Another of the four titles we were lucky enough to acquire from ITC. This 1982 horror thriller was directed by Larry Cohen and starred David Carradine, Michael Moriarty and Candy Clark.  Something big is attacking people of New York and only greedy small time crook Jimmy Quinn knows where its lair is. This film was…
