The Company Logo
Associated Film Distribution was a British film distribution company. It was set up in the 1970s by ITC Entertainment and EMI Films to distribute their films in the US.
Michael Deeley, head of EMI at the time, opposed the move. He thought it had been motivated by Sir Lew Grade's belief that his films had failed in the United States due to poor distribution.
The company was launched in 1978 with $40 million in capitalisation. It aimed to distribute 12 films a year. The initial slate included:
The Story of Maria Callas directed by Zeffirelli
two films from Alan Carr, Cafe Society and a musical
The Wife directed by John Schlesinger
an Ingmar Bergman film
Movie Movie Two - a sequel to Movie Movie (never made)
Saturn 3
French Vanilla directed by Stanley Donen (never made)
The Muppet Movie
Escape to Athena
Firepower
Blood Feud
Raise the Titanic
The Legend of the Lone Ranger
The Chinese Bandit (never made)
Eleanor Roosevelt's Niggers
The Golden Gate from the novel by Alistair MacLean (never made)
Green Ice
The Gemini Contenders and The Scarlatti Inheritance from novels by Robert Ludlum
Trans Siberian Express[1]
