Paramount Pictures Italy

Description by Eric S. Logo captures by Eric S.

1st Logo? (1957-19??)
Paramount (Italian, 1957)

Logo: We see a snow-capped mountain against a dark sky. There are clouds that look like smoke over the mountain. Encircling the mountain are 24 white stars, accompanied by this text in a majestic script font overlapping the mountain, reading:

La Paramount Presenta

FX/SFX: None, just the logo fading in and out.

Music/Sounds: A dreamy orchestral tune, which still plays even after the logo fades out.

Availability: Very rare. Was seen on Italian movies distributed theatrically by Paramount as well as some US releases shown in Italy like Nights of Cabiria.

Editor's Note: None.
