    World Cup Munich

    by

    This 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

    by

    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…

    Behemoth the Sea Monster

    by

    This 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

    The 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

    by

    This 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…

    Songs From Tickle Me

    by

    We’d already disscovered the ‘Elvis’ factor when it came to sales and rental with the highly successful package of films from Grand National so to find this in the EMI catalogue was a bonus. Some great musical numbers, all gleaned from early LPs in oder to save money. We released a 400′ a 4×400 and…

    Star Performance

    by

    When this label was first posted (4th May 2023), I wasn’t able to give only concrete information as to its contents. However group member Gary Sayer supplied me with the following report: “I have this film on standard 8 and super 8 and it isn’t clips from any of her movies. From memory, it looks…

    Bullet for a Deadman

    by

    This was a Derann super 8 release of the late 70s’ and was the only film we ever purchased from a vast catalogue of foreign movies from an office in London, (don’t recall it’s name). At the time Derek and myself both thought that edited and repackaged it might sell as ‘Spaghetti Westerns’ were still…

    Carry on Camping

    by

    One of the two ‘Carry On’ films we picked up from our second contract with Rank Film Distributors. This film and ‘Carry on Abroad’ outsold any title we had previously released. Released as a 4×400′ plus a 400′ extract all made it into the Derann sales catalogue. Another label designed by Marianne Frost. Label courtesy…

    We’d already discovered the ‘Elvis’ factor when it came to sales and rental with the highly successful package of films from Grand National so to find this in the EMI catalogue was a bonus. Not one of his best films, but one I had enjoyed at the ABC in Wolverhampton when it was first released.…
