Read more: The Adventures of the Wilderness Family (One & Two)My memories of this title are very vague and I’m unable to say where, how and from whom we purchased the 8mm rights. However they performed well and were a nice addition to our small list of family entertainment titles. Label designed by Marianne Frost. Label images from the internet.

Capricorn One

Read more: Capricorn OneOne of the four titles we were lucky enough to acquire from ITC. This 1977 thriller was directed by Peter Hyams and starred Elliott Gould, James Brolin, Brenda Vaccaro and Hal Holbrook. The magnificent music score came from the pen of Jerry Goldsmith. This film and ‘Raise the Titanic’ were enough to put 8mm back…

Hollywood

Read more: HollywoodSome of the early Pathe Pictorial titles sold so well that it was decided to produce special box labels for them. ‘Auto Cine’ & ‘Steamboat Down the Nile’ were the other Pictorials chosen. Marianne Frost prepared the simple 4 colour artwork and I printed them inhouse. Label image from the internet.

by
Read more: Hoppity Goes to TownThis title along with ‘Gulliver’s Travels’, Copacabana’, ‘Wake of the Red Witch’, ‘Kronos’ and the serial ‘The Adventures of Captain Marvel’ were all part of the contract we had signed with Ivy Film of New York and when I joined in mid 1975, Derek had already printed a simple label for the super 8 prints,…

Read more: Behemoth the Sea MonsterThis is a pretty decent monster on the rampage movie with some nice stop motion sequences and effects from Willis H. O’Brien, Irving Block, Louis DeWitt, Phil Kellison, Pete Peterson and Jack Rabin who all go uncredited. The UK’s answer to ‘Beast from 20,000 Fathoms’, with director Eugène Lourié at the helm again and London…

Sexy Playmates
—
by
Read more: Sexy PlaymatesThe synopsis in the sales catalogue reads “A hard hitting adult sex featurette as a bored husband gets mixed up with a liberated band of people – lust is their only thought!” It’s most likely a cut down of one of the films in our 16mm library, but which one? Marianne Frost produced the artwork…

Carry On Up the Jungle

Read more: Carry On Up the JungleThis was the final 4×400′ from a ‘Carry On’, Matron only received a 400′ and later we concentrated on full features. The `Carry On’ regulars set off on an exotic safari and soon find themselves plunging in and out of the wrong tents and thrashing their way through the middle of the jungle in search…

Sex Life in a Women’s Prison
—
by
Read more: Sex Life in a Women’s PrisonWhat can I say about this…. well. This would have been a steady seller had we released it earlier, but due to the release of the UA product, we just didn’t think this sex drama would sell against our new UA releases. We had even gone ahead with this label and had given space in…

Thunderbolt

by
Read more: ThunderboltHere’s a great example of Italian exploitation. Anthony Eisley heads an all Italian cast in a ‘Bond’ style secret agent adventure, directed by Antonio Margheriti, better known for his Italian sci-fi and thrillers. This tale is pure hokum with Eisley as a U.S. agent going undercover as a rich playboy in order to stop a…
