Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. Not Indicated. First edition. Historically, the name "Elstree Studios" refers to any of several film studios that were based in the towns of Borehamwood and Elstree in Hertfordshire, England. Despite being called "Elstree Studios" only one studio was actually located in El…stree itself, the remainder being in Borehamwood. There are a number of reasons for this: When the studios were being established, Elstree was significantly larger than Borehamwood. It must therefore have seemed sensible for anything that needed the name of the town in its name to be named after Elstree rather than Borehamwood. Nowadays, Borehamwood is the larger, but the old names have stuck. The fact that the parish that contains the town is also called "Elstree" may have had some influence on the choice of name. When the studios were at their most prolific, the local railway station was called just "Elstree". (Nowadays, it is called "Elstree and Borehamwood".) Furthermore, the local telephone exchange was also called just "Elstree". Before the advent of subscriber trunk dialling, a person wanting to make a call to a studio would ask the operator for, for example, "Elstree 1234". It would therefore be natural for anyone visiting the town to make a film to think that the whole town was called Elstree. b/w Photos (illustrator).

Condition: Gut. 184 S.; zahlr. Illustr.; 26 cm. Gutes Ex. - Englisch. - HARDCOVER. // INHALT : Foreword by Dame Anna Neagle --- Introduction --- Acknowledgements --- Elstree: 'Tall Oaks From Little Acorns Grow' --- Entry of the Gladiators --- Sounding Off --- The Golden Thirties --- War and Peace: A Fresh Start --- Pop Go the Si…xties --- The Seventies: Battle for Survival --- The Way Ahead --- Bibliography --- List of Films --- Index. // As well as being 'that solid rock on which the British film industry is based', the B.I.P. Studios at Elstree were a unique training ground for a long line of cinematographers, technicians and writers, British and American stars, producers and directors who gave and learnt their skills with affection and dedication. The Neptune Film Studios were established at Elstree before the First World War, but it was not until a canny Scots solicitor called John Maxwell bought the newly built British National Studios in 1927, renaming them British; International Pictures, that the British Hollywood really took off. Around this star studio, British and American film studios and production companies - the British and Dominion, M.G.M., Blattner, Gate and so on - were to orbit through the decades. At various times and under various names and managements, a host of famous people were to pass through Elstree's portals: Bogarde, Bergman, Buchanan, Cooper, Daniels, Dietrich, Fairbanks, Flynn, Gable, Hay, Hancock, Hitchcock, Huston, Leigh, Laughton, Mason, Mills, Neagle, Oberon, Peck, Todd, Tauber, Wilcox . . . and many more. Patricia Warren recaptures the special feeling of warmth and loyalty inspired by Elstree, from the days of the silent White Sheik and the first British talkie, Blackmail, to the special effects of blockbusters Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark and the present day. An exciting story, Elstree: The British Hollywood is the first all-embracing, fully illustrated account of the studios' unique film history and achievement. It will be an entertaining and valuable work of reference for the film and television industry, film student and film buff alike.
