OK, I already know that this was a Niles print, but it came on 2 X600ft reels, and the boxes have a reel nice label on it. I have seen other copies of this, and they have the same 2X600ft reels, same brand and boxes and reels, same labels/images, so I am wondering, did someone get a large number of copies of this, and market it in this manner? If so, who?

When I bought this print. It came as a 3x400. Due to the interviews and clips from films it is easy to edit into 2x600. Mine was a Derann reprint with the pinkness already built into colour segments. Think the world and its mother printed this title. -
Mike, can you verify the film stock? I might have a Derann reprint as well. The second 600ft box has a plastic official Niles Films sticker. It doesn't have a second label. It is a well put together documentary. Too bad that "African Queen" isn't included except for photos and s little behind the scenes footage. I wonder exactly when this documentary was made? Judging by the hair styles of the young people, I would think either late 60's or early 70's.Comment

Long parted company with that one. I prefer the Hollywood & the Stars series documentary from 1963 which was issued as a 600ft reel.
The documentary features extensively on South Bank special from 1988 with Stephen Bogart . It is an extra on a Germany Blu Ray either Big Sleep or High Sierra.
I think it was produced in 1969 when there was a Bogart revival in US at students campuses.
It is part of a package on eBay at present.

I have unspoiled both parts of my Bogart documentary, and have not found any splices in between parts. That and the characteristic box markings, (you collect long enough, you get to know what "stamps" each company uses), it appears to have actually been an official Niles release, but on 600ft reels, which wasn't characteristic of the Niles Films company. It makes me wonder if this was a very late release by Niles. Any info on that?Comment
