Ken Films Explanation Note For Missing Patton Speech

[Melvin England]

I have just received a copy of the 400' version of Ken Films Patton.

In the box was an original message from them explaining why they deliberately omitted to include the opening speech in this 400' edition. Even though it is common knowledge as to the reason, I thought you may be interested in reading their original version.

Hi Melvin, hope you got my pm - Cheers, Shorty

Melvin,

Thanks for posting the message. The 200' version of Patton also had that insert.

This is a great find, Melvin. I think it is a great piece of Ken Films' memorabilia, especially since it contains no misspellings, like in many of the catalogs and the MGM insert announcing new releases beginning with M25, "Where Eagles Dare."
