Read more: Rollerball – Part 2I was never a big fan of this movie, which I thought was all noise and no plot. Didn’t stop it selling. Label was designed by our regular artist Marianne Frost.

Read more: The Three MusketeersThis 1948 Technicolor costume drama was the third or fourth release we issued in our deal with Ken Films/MGM.

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…

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…
