Two Cities Films

Background
Founded in 1937 by Italian expatriate Filippo del Giudice as a project to make an international film company, it ended up being a genuinely British company, producing films with Rank or on its own. It folded in 1955.

(June 1938-January 11, 1955)


Visuals: We see a painting of London's Tower Bridge with some skyscrapers in the background. Then, in white, rounded letters, the words Impact

zoom out at a very fast pace and place themselves in the very center of the screen.

Variant:


 * On some films (mostly the ones distributed by Rank), the byline "F. DEL GIUDICE IN CHARGE OF PRODUCTION" would appear. The set of skyscrapers varies as well.
 * In Technicolor films, the logo has a dark, moody look, with cold colours. The set of skyscrapers varies depending on the film.

Technique: The zoom out, which is quite rough.

Audio: The opening music of the movie.

Availability: It can be spotted on DVDs of old productions by this company.
