The tape reel on the first cover of The Anderson Tapes looks like a super 8 spool... [Wink]

Mark,

Some of the early silent Ken releases have terrific covers. Many of them are in this Great Box Art thread. To me, the Ken cover for Sound of Music is their laughable low point. We should start a "Worst Box Art" thread.

Jean-Marc,

I should have held onto that one for a new cover art quiz!

Robert,

True, however the side flap makes that distinction and to their credit, the catalog lists the title as "Moby Dick with JOHN BARRYMORE".

Interestingly, this was a remake of a silent film he made 4 years earlier, titled The Sea Beast. Would love to see the complete feature.

Douglas 'The Worst Box Art' thread sounds a good idea.

I thought I'd revive this topic with another cutdown that made an appearance in three different boxes.

The only one where they spell the star's name correctly!

UA version 2

UA/Ken Films version 3

Poor Mr. Lorre!

Disney changed the artwork on a number of their titles:

I noticed that The Professionals mentions ester on the front.

The Columbia titles were not originally distributed by Mountain Films in the UK Capital Films used to do them.

I love the smell of film in the morning.

My MIDGET CAR MANIACS is in a generic Abbott & Costello box.
Blackhawk changed the Laurel and Hardy boxes a few times -- early ones for the silents had a still on the cover from the movie contained within.
