Britain in the Thirties - Korda at Denham

Denham was perhaps the most glamorous film studio ever to be built in Britain and certainly the most romantic. On the 165 acres of Buckinghamshire countrryside, Alexander Korda was determined to take on the Hollywood moghuls at their own game and produce pictures with an international flavour.
And certainly films like Rembrandt and the Four Feathers are every bit as good as anything produced in America at the time.
But, as technicians and studio staff recall in this film, Korda over-reached himself at Denham and by 1938 his principal financial backers, the Prudential Life Assurance Company began to ask themselves just how prudent their investment was in Korda's brand of lavish film-making.

A brilliant little documentary, thank God they got those interviews in before Korda's men passed away. Thank you very much.
