Series 6B : Arthur W. Kelly files, 1946-1951.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/297448479

Files of the vice president in charge of foreign distribution documenting all aspects of foreign distribution of films. In this series, extensive correspondence with UA executives, producers, and producers' representatives discuss offers of films for distribution; contract interpretations and disputes; and the booking, dating, terms, playing, and collection of money for various films. There are also reports and statistics which relate to picture earnings, distribution problems, circuit deals, dubbing, travel, and other aspects of foreign distribution. Especially important is information relating to the J. Arthur Rank Organization and the Odeon Theatre interests which largely controlled access to theaters in Great Britain. Files on Germany provide insight into the Allied Occupation and later developments. Other notable materials include Motion Picture Association and Motion Picture Export Association minutes, reports, and correspondence; accounting and distribution figures; and information on currency restrictions.
