Was struck by this font while browsing Netflix. I have no knowledge of its background. Look familiar to anyone? Thanks in advance!

German movie 1970. Info on the movie at http://www.thesamecinemaeverynight.net/gentlemen-in-white-vests-1970/.
This seems to be packaging added later, perhaps by a British distributor.
Could possibly be a British font like Johnston or Gill Sans, edited to remove the bar on the G. and point the tips on M, N, V & W. Johnston was commissioned by Frank Pick of London Underground Railways in 1916 for use in signs on the railway system. Original name"Underground." A.k.a. "Johnston's Railway Type." Versions by ITC, P22 and others. Gill was originally produced for the London & North Eastern Railway, and widely used.
But then again, it is perhaps another sans.

Tschichold http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/presencetypo/tschichold/ is similar and has the G without a bar. But it it too lacks the sharp tips.

Don't have the answer. Close to Woody though but not rough...

Pretty close:


Gill Condensed Display Bold edited to remove the bar on the G and point the tips on M, N, V & W.
Don't know if there ever was a font like this, but it's easy to make the letters with this design.
