Old films launched Republic return to production roots

Article Abstract:

Republic Pictures Corp has emerged from its self-imposed retirement a winner. The film rental agency closed shop in 1955 and was acquired by National Telefilm Associates in 1967 which was, in turn, bought by Tele-Communications Inc. Republic became independent in 1985 and successfully recycled their old movies through the efforts of its chairman Russell Goldsmith and chief financial officer Steven Beeks. By 1991, the firm has become the major provider of miniseries and television movies for top television networks. It has also acquired home-video licensing rights and has reproduced its television movies and miniseries in cassettes.
