WALTON FILMS
9.5MM CATALOGUE
It was in May 1948 that Walton Sound and Film Services was formed by James Beney, a chap who had moved into the mobile cinema business after the second world war, despite his father's wishes for him to continue his law studies. Often using the Wallace Heaton film library as a source of films, James was encouraged by the librarian Les Francis to make films himself. As a result the first Walton travel film "Glimpses of Switzerland" saw the light of day. In the January 1948 issue of the movie magazine Amateur Cine World there appears probably the first advertisement for Walton Films - along with "Glimpses of Switzerland" are listed "Sam's Garden Railway" and a new title "The Azure Coast of Southern France" - "colour and sound versions ready soon". A series of "Burhill" 100ft shorts are also mentioned - the name probably coming from local area, as he was trading from the home address of Longmynd, Burwood Park, Walton-on-Thames. These first releases were only in the 16mm format.

James Beney soon became friends with another member of the Wallace Heaton staff - Brian Harris. When Brian left Wallace Heaton, the two friends formed a business partnership. 1953 saw Walton Films offer movies of the Coronation not only in colour but also filmed at 16fps giving longer screen time. Earlier, around 1951 the first Walton glamour film had arrived - "Bikini Girl World Contest". This series (rather tame by modern standards) was to prove a big seller in all three film sizes - 8mm / 9.5mm / 16mm! It seems most of the Walton glamour titles were filmed on 16mm Kodachrome by James Beney himself - being young and single at the time he could take out an attractive model for a day's shooting and combine business with pleasure!
Originally Walton arranged for a number of their 100ft releases to be printed up as triple 9.5mm prints on the special 35mm print stock by Pathescope for them. (Mainly the top selling glamour releases!). Once Walton had decided to make a splash with Coronation films (June 1953) in Kodachrome, James Beney designed a perforator to reperforate 16mm prints to 9.5mm. Actually 16mm is a slightly longer pitch than 9.5mm. but not enough to notice except on 9.5mm projectors with very worn claw mechanisms. As a result quite a large chunk of the Walton catalogue was advertised as being available on 9.5mm, especially the Kodachrome releases, as colour was unheard of at that time in 9.5mm package films.
The quality of these 16mm reperfs was far superior to the Pathescope sourced 9.5mm prints - so you can spot a genuine 9.5mm Walton release printed by Pathescope, by it's poor quality and correct 9.5mm perforation pitch. Naturally many other Walton 16mm releases have since been reperfed to 9.5mm making it difficult to define exactly what 9.5mm films Walton actually supplied.
We do have Walton boss, James Beney to thank for these 9.5mm releases - he had a soft spot for the 9.5mm gauge but sales were low and must have been subsidised by the massive 8mm sales. In 1955 another Brian joined the intrepid team working from offices above United Dairies in Kensington - this was Brian Farrow who became Sales Manager. Soon 8mm sound had arrived and the film business took on a whole new scene.
By 1965 Walton had ceased listing the shorter 4 minute 100foot (30metre) colour releases as available in 9.5mm (the black & white versions had already been deleted). A year later, the longer length 9.5mm titles were also deleted from the Walton film catalogue - in fact most of the 16mm versions had also disappeared - 8mm was the gauge that sold and soon Super 8mm followed suit as the mainstay of Walton's commercial future. Sadly Walton didn't adjust quickly enough to the video boom of the 1980's and the company went into liquidation in 1983.
The following list has been compiled from the Walton
sales catalogues - it includes only the 9.5mm titles actually
advertised by Walton. Hopefully it is now complete - please let
me know of any other titles advertised as available on 9.5mm or
errors/corrections etc. I'm still searching for copies of any
Walton film catalogues pre 1954. (Many thanks to Guy Turner for
the 1954/55 catalogue photocopy).

There was a comprehensive catalogue of the later Walton 8mm and Super 8mm film titles issued in the later days of the company on the internet at:- www.isoplethics.co.uk/walton/walton.htm but this link is now defunct - can't find a new location - can anyone help please! (October 2007)

Notes: The 'Col' releases were all 16mm Kodachrome prints reperforated to 9.5mm.
The 'Col' titles were also available in B/W (black & white).
(the issue dates prior to 1953 refer to the B/W copies)
The 'issue ' and 'deleted' dates in the list above refer to the 9.5mm versions
Originally Walton didn't issue catalogue numbers for their longer films,
later they used an A prefix for films 250ft - 400ft long. Eventually
prefixes of B, A, C and D were used to define more accurately these
lenghts - in this list all films 250ft - 400ft are prefixed SB.
Most of the Walton titles except the cartoons and US (American) titles
were filmed by Walton themselves, rather like the Peak Film releases.
