According to chap at Canal relating to Third Man, "British Lion distributed internationally." (Under what name?)
And accounts of Woolf's IFD have them utilising Lion International from 1950. Since Lion didn't distribute in the USA prior to 55, then presumably, once they started to in 55 after the reformation of the company, they would have to form a new company there to do so. I'm not convinced that when the company was reformed, and they launched distribution in the US they couldn't have reused a previously used name, one never used in the US. Unless of course there's evidence of their prior international distribution being done under a different name.
