Embassy Pictures
The company was founded in 1942 by Joseph E. Levine, initially to distribute foreign films in the United States. Some of Levine's early successes were the Italian-made "Hercules" films with Steve Reeves; "Godzilla, King of the Monsters!" (1956, a much re-edited version of Ishirō Honda's original "Godzilla" from 1954); and the adaptation of "The Thief of Baghdad" (1961), also with Reeves in the lead. Embassy also distributed Federico Fellini's film "8½" (1963) and Rick Carrier's "Strangers in the City" (1962).
