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