4.9/5 (13577 ratings)

Description:The story of Isleworth Studios is essentially that of the British film industry from 1914 to 1952. Beginning with the first British Sherlock Holmes screen adaptation and ending with its Oscar-winning swansong, The African Queen, in the intervening years it was one of the most technically advanced studios in the country and home to some of the best and the worst examples of British cinema. It experienced the transition from silent films to talkies. Britain's only movie mogul, Alexander Korda arrived, looking to rival Hollywood, followed by Douglas Fairbanks Jnr looking to rival Korda. Buster Keaton struggled with alcoholism; Richard Burton made his screen debut; Bogart, Hepburn and Huston made a classic; and EmericPressburger directed his first and only film at Isleworth. Little by little the dream factory's physical shape is now crumbling or altered, or is disappearing altogether. Soon it may be gone.
