EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the 1920s British cinema scene with the iconic duo, Ivor Novello and Isobel Jeans, in their roles as Jill Banister and Peter Ibbetson in Alfred Hitchcock's "Downhill" (1927). The image, taken during the production of the film, showcases the magnetic chemistry between the two actors as they share a moment of playful banter, reflecting the lighthearted nature of their on-screen relationship. Ivor Novello, a renowned actor, composer, and producer, had already made a name for himself in the entertainment industry before collaborating with Hitchcock on "Downhill." Isobel Jeans, on the other hand, was a promising newcomer, who would go on to become a leading lady in British films of the era. Directed by the budding mastermind of suspense and thriller films, Alfred Hitchcock, "Downhill" was produced by Michael Balcon for the prestigious Gainsborough Pictures. The film, which marked Hitchcock's second directorial effort, was an adaptation of A.E.W. Mason's novel "Over the Edge." The story follows the tumultuous relationship between two former lovers who meet again years later, only to be torn apart by their past transgressions. The photograph, taken at the Islington Studio, is a snapshot of a bygone era in film history. The 1920s, also known as the Jazz Age, was a time of innovation and experimentation in the world of cinema. This image serves as a testament to the rich history of British silent films and the unforgettable talents that graced the silver screen during this period.
