Posted by David Guest (Member # 2791) on October 03, 2016, 02:46 AM:

Posted by Brian Fretwell (Member # 4302) on October 03, 2016, 03:19 AM:

Yes David, but what do the initials the FC stand for when it comes to film?

Posted by Terry Sills (Member # 3309) on October 03, 2016, 08:41 AM:

Well I guess Film Classics?

It's not true to say that Film Classics were the best. Some Blackhawk titles are better quality than Film Classics and vice versa.
On the old efilm forum there was a list of the better titles in each, but I can't seem to locate it.

Yes I have seen Blackhawk prints and yes some were good but why did they use the drab printed titles

FC=Film Classics - Those with the Placque opening - No, you are all quite right that Blackhawk prints were sometimes superior in quality, and the reverse is true - The "drab" titles, so to speak, are in keeping with that "olde tyme" feel,as regards Blackhawk - Simple and direct, as are the introductions to many silents - I was educated many times in reading them - Take a good look at the boxes, and they are of the past, vis-a-vie those early movie houses - Cheers, Shorty
