EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the magic of filmmaking at Elstree Studios during the 1930s, as director T. Hayes Hunter (1884-1944) works intently with actors Herbert Marshall (1890-1966) and Edna Best (1900-1974) on the set of "The Calendar" (1931). The British film industry was in its prime during this era, and Elstree Studios was at the forefront of production. In this scene, Hunter meticulously guides Marshall and Best through their lines and movements, ensuring a flawless performance for the camera. The actors, focused and engaged, respond with professionalism and dedication. The atmosphere is tense yet collaborative, as the crew, including technicians and cameramen, work together to capture each moment on film. The set, simple yet effective, is dressed for a bedroom scene, with soft lighting illuminating the space. The calm, controlled environment contrasts with the intensity of the scene being filmed, adding to the intrigue and allure of the movie-making process. "The Calendar," a romantic comedy-drama, was a significant success for Elstree Studios and solidified the careers of both Marshall and Best. This photograph is a testament to the artistry and collaboration that goes into bringing a film to life, and a reminder of the golden age of British cinema.
