Signature Films
Notes:
Run by Monroe Beehler and Shan Sayles until Beehler embezelling money after the filming of Inside AMG. Some stories have it that Beehler ran away with the money but DeSimone says there were legal battles so he must have stuck around. Tom DeSimone replaced Beehler for a while. Alex Cooperman was a silent investor in the business. Signature used an old theater on Adams Boulevard in L.A. for staging and offices and shot 16mm soft core features, both gay and straight. Around the middle of 1969 they started doing some hard core because small theaters were showing the hard stuff and taking taking away their box office sales. Their first hard core films were actually soft core for the west coast with hard core edited in for New York showings.
