Samuel Z. Arkoff Papers. Series 3: Subseries A

Collection 080

Series 3: organizational files. Subseries A: American international pictures

 

Series size: 166 folders, 5 oversize items
Series dates: 1952-1991

 

This subseries contains materials, mostly from the late 1970s, related to American International Pictures. They include financial statements related to film releases and cash flow, board of directors' meetings, release schedules, abstracts of agreement regarding films, correspondence, and information on the merger with Filmway. In fact because the bulk dates of the materials correspond closely to the date of the American International Pictures' merger with Filmways (1979), this may account for the reason for the assembling of these records--as reference files for the work of the merger.
