Korda at
Denham Denham was perhaps the most glamorous film studio ever tp be built in Britain and certainly the most romantic. On the 165 acres of Buckinghamshire countryside, Alexander Korda was determined to take on the Hollywood moguls at their own game and produce British pictures with an international flavour.
And certainly films like Rembrandt and The Four Feathers are every bit as good as anything produced in America at the time. But, as technicians and studio staff recall in this film, Korda over-reached himself at Denham and by 1938 his principal financial backers, the Prudential Life Assurance Company began to ask themselves just how prudent their investment was in Korda's brand of lavish film-making.
