K. Gordon Murray Productions

K. Gordon Murray Productions was a dubbing studio, one of the earliest ones in fact, founded by K. Gordon and Irene Murray around 1960.

History
K. Gordon Murray founded the company after moving to Miami in the early 1960's, going on to release over 60 films in under 15 years. Murray often changed the titles of his movies, giving them more sensational, more emotionally charged monikers, in order to sell them in a better way.

Their first known title, Santa Claus made so much money, that it is the only film in U.S. history (with the possible exception of Disney's Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs) to be released profitably in theaters every few years for three decades. With this success, Murray began acquiring and dubbing more foreign children's fairy tale films into English, and by the end of the 1960s, he had been hailed by film critics as the "King of the Kiddie Matinee", the studio frequented "Soundlab" for their dubbing productions.

Towards the end of Murray's life, he ran afoul of the Internal Revenue Service, which seized all his assets, including K. Gordon Murray Productions, consequently taking his films out of circulation. Before the case could come to a conclusion, Murray died of a heart attack.
