    Some of the sales filmlets on here would not have been on the same Pearl & Dean advert reel. The Pearl & Dean titles were from around 1976; the Lyons Maid Now's The Time For Ice Cream filmlet is from 1961; the Butterkist filmlet is from 1968; the Kia-Ora Orange and Lemon and Lime filmlet is from 1970 and the Lyons Maid Neapolitan Dairy Ice Cream filmlet dates from 1962. Sales filmlets were always placed on the beginning of the adverts reel by the projectionist, in front of the Pearl & Dean reel. I was a cinema projectionist from 1962 to 1981, so I know.

      Those Pearl and Dean titles were introduced 1972 and used until Summer 1996, albeit with a remaster and a change from open matte to a 1.85 widescreen frame in the mid-90s. The opening version used here in fact is the remaster (the closing is not). As for the placement of the sales trailers, it varied from cinema to cinema. In my experience, sales always went in between the Pearl and Dean reel and the trailer section. Some companies used to put the trailers before the adverts too, which I always found a bit poor - it was only when advertising companies like Pearl and Dean and Rank insisted in the contract by the late 80s that the adverts must be shown first that it became universal (although by the 80s most had begun doing that anyway).

  • @MysteryManfrom79
    @MysteryManfrom79 10 років тому +5

    The titles you have here are from the remastered batch from the mid-90s. The evidence is that the blue rays were cleaned up (they were quite grainy on the original 70s and 80s prints) and are a slightly darker blue. Also this is true widescreen, whereas the originals were 'open matte' (full 4:3 frame but suitable for widescreen cropping by the projector plate). The outro originally had no telephone number also, just the title pulling back. There were also 2 telephone number versions. The first had the old 80s/90s London prefix, and on that one the telephone number stayed at the front while the Pearl and Dean logo went back only. Then after the prefix change in 1994 this alteration was made, with a new number and both going back at the end. The soundtrack was also mixed into Dolby SR at this time. Ironically, just 2 years later in July 1996 it was replaced!

      unhban No problem. As for the order of ads, there wasn't anything particular, but alcohol/tobacco ads tended to be the last. The list P & D gave you sometimes used to say PLACE EARLY/LATE IN REEL if being more specific. Watch the vid called 'Various cinema advert reels (1950s-2003, UK)' to see the earlier titles with generic outro, and though not great quality, a vid called 'cinema ads with pearl and dean intro and outro' shows you the one with the older number.
