I'm sure you're right about 1960s Dave. I tried to research Ritz Films a bit about 15 years ago when I came across a High Noon quad with a Ritz snipe over the United Artists logo. Everything seemed to point to the 60s. Doing a bit of searching again now, the company seems to have been created by a man called Leonard Jefferson Hope, who had been working for Gala at the beginning of that decade (Gala being a much more familiar name as a company distributing European art-house movies in the UK). There may be an obituary somewhere indicating exactly when Ritz was in operation, but I haven't found it. Let us know if you find out anything else!

Just wondering if any of our UK experts can help me date this King Kong re-release quad. I could only find one credit for Ritz Films on IMDb. They distributed The Specialist in 1966. Given this is printed in day-glo orange, I’m thinking this, too, is early to mid-60’s. Here’s the poster: http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0204/3724/products/00kingkongrrUKquad_1024x 1024.jpg Any info of any kind would be appreciated. Thanks!
