Own Castle Films' New Comedy Sensation -- January 23, 2022

Movie Makers, March, 1950

For many years, Castle Films and Official Films were the two big distributors of home movies. 

In this ad, Castle offered the automotive cataclysm from the finale of WC Fields' last starring feature, Never Give a Sucker an Even Break. In 1947, Universal took control of Castle Films, giving Castle access to Universal productions like Never Give a Sucker an Even Break. 

Other items include a Walter Lantz cartoon, which had been released by Universal, and a movie of Deanna Durbin, a Universal star, singing "Ave Maria."
