J . Arthur Rank J . Arthur Rank was the name most commonly used by the influential British film producer Joseph Arthur Rank ( 1888 - 1972 ) , whose name ( in a manner similar to Walt Disney ) was largely synonymous with his company .

Arthur Rank Presents . " Some of the better known titles produced or distributed by Rank or his organization ( and thus bearing the logo ) included David Lean ' s 1948 version of " Oliver Twist " , the Ealing Studios comedies ( including " Kind Hearts and Coronets " and " The Ladykillers " with Peter Sellers , the later remade with effects from Jim Henson ' s Creature Shop ) , and the " Carry On " series .
