Pinewood Film Studios
In 1934 Charles Boot had undertaken to construct a new film studio in the village of Iver Heath in Buckinghamshire. His location was set among the Pine trees on the estate grounds of a mansion called Heatherden Hall that Charles Boot had recently bought at auction. The complex was named Pinewood Film Studios and it was completed within a year. By 1935 Charles Boot had approached British National about taking over ownership and management of the new studios and a contract was entered into. John Corfield eventually resigned from the board of Pinewood Film Studios and Lady Yule sold her shares to J. Arthur Rank.

Famous quotes containing the word film:
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
