Richard Todd - Oscar-nominated for his role in The Hasty Heart in 1949 and perhaps best known for his portrayal of Wing Commander Guy Gibson in The Dam Busters - introduces this fascinating and rareIy seen documentary from 1952. Elstree Story is a profile of the Iegendary film studio; of the pictures made there, and the stars and technicians who helped make it one of Europe's greatest film production centres. Featured here in a brand-new transfer from original fiIm eIements Elstree Story is showcased in its as-exhibited theatrical aspect ratio.
Starting in 1927 when the first fiIm, The White Sheik, was made there, EIstree Story features excerpts from over forty productions - including Hitchcock's Blackmail, the first feature-length British taIkie ever shown - with earIy appearances by some of cinema's greatest stars; it is a most memorable and evocative journey through the years.
