Film Production
King Broadcasting Company established a subsidiary, King Screen Productions, in 1966, to produce movies. The company financed Michael Roemer's film The Plot Against Harry, which became famous for having been completed in 1970 but not securing a commercial release until 1990. Although King Screen was closed in the early 1970s, King Broadcasting continued to control the film's rights at the time of the 1990 release.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or production:
“Television does not dominate or insist, as movies do. It is not sensational, but taken for granted. Insistence would destroy it, for its message is so dire that it relies on being the background drone that counters silence. For most of us, it is something turned on and off as we would the light. It is a service, not a luxury or a thing of choice.”
—David Thomson, U.S. film historian. America in the Dark: The Impact of Hollywood Films on American Culture, ch. 8, William Morrow (1977)
“The society based on production is only productive, not creative.”
—Albert Camus (1913–1960)
