K prefix means Kodachrome version released.
* indicates 9.5mm release identified - there may be others
printed as triple 9.5mm by Pathescope for Peak Films.
The genuine 9.5mm releases were available only in black & white.
Other 9.5mm prints are often 16mm prints reperforated to 9.5mm -
these can be identified because they have 16mm perforation pitch.
These 8/9.5mm/16mm Peak printed films were released around 1950/54.
Chaplins apart, the 'Gem' releases were probably all filmed by Peak themselves.
| Peak Films appeared sometime around 1950 with a small
range of 8mm and 16mm films. The managing director, J.S. Frieze had previously been invloved with Clapham Park Film Studios Ltd. who had released one or two 16mm shorts ('Clapa Minifilms') - including RS1 "London West". By 1953 a limited range of the Peak titles were launched in 9.5mm; these were printed by Pathescope for Peak Films. However sadly by the mid-fifties 9.5mm prints were being sold off as sales were rather low, a note from J.S. Frieze, managing director of Peak Film Productions, in the Amateur Cine World Magazine dated March 1955 stated "It is with regret that we are withdrawing from the 9.5mm market, but it has been unprofitable from the start ... with our thanks to those who have purchased our (9.5mm) films in the past...
