Read more: Black Emanuelle, White EmanuelleThis had been a scope title in our 16mm rental catalogue and had proved to be immensely popular, a factor that had swayed us to project it in several local working mens clubs, where it had received repeat requests. So it seemed only natural that we should approach Miracle Films and release it on video…

Any film that hides behind this many titles is generally trying to disguise something, and strangely enough this film…

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…

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…

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…

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…
