Key Largo

Read more: Key LargoAs 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

Read more: The Treasure Of Sierra Madre – Part 2Another 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…

Read more: The Devil Rides OutOne 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

Read more: Rollerball – Part 1One 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…

World Cup Munich

Read more: World Cup MunichThis 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…

The Sea Hawk #2

Read more: The Sea Hawk #2The 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…

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…

Marianne Frost produced the artwork…
