Deutsche London Film
Deutsche London Film or Deutsche London-Film (German: Deutsche London Filmverleih) was a West German film distribution company active from 1948 to 1956. Handling both domestic productions and imports, and concentrating on popular film genres, it established itself as one of the bigger distributors. This took place during the economic recovery of the German film industry in the post-Second World War period, as audiences reached peak numbers by the mid-1950s. It was founded in Hamburg by Karl Julius Fritzsche, a former head of production at the major studio Tobis Film, but lost momentum following his death in 1954. Located in what had been placed into the British Zone it released productions by Alexander Korda's London Films, including ''That Hamilton Woman'', ''Lydia'', ''An Ideal Husband'', ''The Winslow Boy'', ''The Third Man'' and ''Hobson's Choice''. In 1950, it distributed a wartime Austrian film ''The Heart Must Be Silent'' starring Paula Wessely. As German production levels r ...

This is normally the task of a professional film distributor, who would determine the marketing and release strategy for the film, the media by which a film is to be exhibited or made available for viewing and other matters. The film may be exhibited directly to the public either through a movie theater or television, or personal home viewing (including physical media, video-on-demand, download, television programs through broadcast syndication). For commercial projects, film distribution is usually accompanied by film promotion. History Initially, all mass-marketed feature films were made to be shown in movie theaters. The identity of the first theater designed specifically for cinema is a matter of debate; candidates include Tally's Electric Theatre, established 1902 in Los Angeles, and Pittsburgh's Nickelodeon, established ...
