Movie Backlog For TV Running Out Distributor Says Supply Running Low HOLLYWOOD,UP — Cherish those old movies on television, for within a year TV will have used them up and there might not be any more, a movies-for-TV distributor 1 said today. Antique films on TV have been needled by many a comedian’s gag, such as Both Hope’s line. “Television. — that’s where .old moviep go when they die.” But Motion Pictures for Television, Inc., the largest distributor of feature films to video, reports the supply “is coming to an end.” "In about a year the backlog will have run out,” sighed Dave Kolper, head of the company's Hollywood office. \ Many a viewer hopes that when the movie studios switch to threedimension films they’ll sell their, “flats’? tb TV. and the armchair fan will be elevated from the '3o’s and early ’4o’a to the ’sp’s. ; But Wolper insisted there's 'not a chance. “The major studios will not release any films to TV a good picture, no matter how old or how flat, on' television is competition to their pictures playing in the theaters,” he said. “They don’t want people to stay 4some. And the studios make more Stoney selling pictures to theaters than they could selling them to television.” j The half dozen film distributors in Hollywood prowl the market for movies made by independent producers. who don’t !cai*e if TV buys their pictures after a theater run. When an independent company goes bankrupt and has to sell its films, Wolper and hfs cohorts close tn for the kill.
