Columbia Pictures features

[Michael O’Regan]

Those Columbia Pictures reels look great.

[Paul Adsett]

I agree Michael, the Columbia reels were the best of any supplier of film prints, very sturdy design and very smart with the Columbia Pictures gold lettering. I have about 4 of these in my collection.
So lets see now, Columbia had the best reels, who had the best boxes? (My vote is MGM - love that embossed Lion on the inside cover!)

[Osi Osgood]

Didn't 20th Century Fox do that embossing as well?

[William Ferry]

Didn't 20th Century Fox do that embossing as well?

Yes, that's right. They were distributed by the same company; IIRC, it was a latter-day variant of the old Ken Films company.

[Eberhard Nuffer]

Never heard of IIRC; on the leaders of those MGM prints you can read "Ken Films."

[Brian Fretwell]

To explain, IIRC = If I Recall Correctly.

[Douglas Meltzer]

Brian,

Thank you. I also misunderstood William's reference at first, thinking "What film company was IIRC?"
