    42nd Street – Part 2

    by

    With the line “you’re going out a youngster but you’ve got to come back a star!” being remembered to this day, this film was the beginning of a series of movie musical extravaganzas that has never been equaled. This was the very first film from our highly successful UA deal that was edited and hit…

    Key Largo

    by

    As far as I recall this title along with ‘New York, New York’ and ‘Trapeze’ were the only films from the UA deals that received a single 400′ release. Claire Trevor won an Oscar for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, but this picture belongs to Edward G. Robinson as Rocco and Humphrey Bogart. It…

    The Treasure Of Sierra Madre – Part 2

    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 the plastic clamshell packaging manufactures, so they could…

    The Devil Rides Out

    by

    One of my own personal favourite Hammer Horrors and a title that Derek edited using a new 35mm prints and a loaned portable 35mm projector. The in initial label was created for card boxes and featured Mocata menacing the female lead with satanic symbolism in the background. However when we produce the plastic clamshell packaging…

    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 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’…

    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

    by

    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’
