'''Anglo-Amalgamated Productions''' was a British film production company, run by [[Nat Cohen]] and [[Stuart Levy (producer)|Stuart Levy]], which operated from 1945 until roughly 1971 (after which it was absorbed into [[EMI Films]]). [[Low-budget film|Low-budget]] and [[B movie|second features]], often produced at [[Merton Park Studios]], formed much of its output. It was the UK distributor of many films produced by [[American International Pictures]] (AIP), who distributed AA's films in the United States.

It is remembered for producing the first 12 [[Carry on films|''Carry On'' films]] (all of which were produced at [[Pinewood Studios]]) and B-movie series such as ''[[The Scales of Justice]]'', ''[[Scotland Yard (film series)|Scotland Yard]]'' and the ''[[Edgar Wallace Mysteries]]''. It did, however, produce the [[Michael Powell]] film ''[[Peeping Tom (1960 film)|Peeping Tom]]'' (1960) and such films as [[John Schlesinger]]'s ''[[A Kind of Loving (film)|A Kind of Loving]]'' (1962), ''[[Billy Liar (film)|Billy Liar]]'' (1963) or [[Ken Loach]]'s ''[[Poor Cow]]'' (1967). The company's distribution arrangement with American International Pictures led to the last two films in [[Roger Corman]]'s series of films based on the works of [[Edgar Allan Poe]], ''[[The Masque of the Red Death (1964 film)|The Masque of the Red Death]]'' and ''[[The Tomb of Ligeia]]'' (both 1964), being joint productions made in the UK. AA's film distribution subsidiary was '''Anglo Amalgamated Film Distributors Ltd'''. Anglo had a film production arm called Insignia Films.

In 1962, [[Associated British Picture Corporation]] (ABPC) purchased 50% of the shares of Anglo Amalgamated.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://archive.spectator.co.uk/article/17th-august-1962/25/associated-british-picture-corporation|title=Company Meeting: Associated British Picture Corporation|work=The Spectator|date=16 August 1962|page=25|access-date=17 July 2015}}</ref><ref>[http://find.galegroup.com/ttda/infomark.do?&source=gale&prodId=TTDA&userGroupName=slnsw_public&tabID=T003&docPage=article&searchType=BasicSearchForm&docId=CS352805509&type=multipage&contentSet=LTO&version=1.0 "A.B.
