Background

Hill/Mandelker Films was formed in 1980 following the success of Amber Waves by former ABC employer and Adam-12 writer Leonard Hill and Time-Life Television producer Phillip Mandelker. The company had inked a distribution deal with WGBH-owned Novacom, Inc. (later King Features Entertainment) to syndicate the telemovies. The company later branched out into TV show production with the establishment of the subsidiary Hill/Mandelker Television to produce Tucker's Witch. Mandelker died in 1984 and it was renamed to Leonard Hill Films.

Logo (May 18, 1981-November 4, 1984)


Visuals: On a black background, a blue line shoots down, forming a fancy-looking lowercase "hm" that's conjoined together. Below that, "HILL / MANDELKER FILMS" appears below the "hm".

Variant: On some episodes of Tucker's Witch, the text reads "HILL / MANDELKER TELEVISION" instead.

Technique: Cel animation.

Audio: A descending chime jingle, similar to the Dick Clark Productions jingle, with a ding sound when the text appears. Composed by Brad Fiedel.

Availability: Appeared on TV movies from the company, such as Freedom and The Cartier Affair. On current prints of Stalking Laura (1993), this appears in place of the Leonard Hill Films logo, due to an editing mistake from the distributor, Multicom Entertainment Group. It also appeared on the TV series Tucker's Witch.
