EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Glimpse into the Past: Gaumont British Film Studios at Northolt, West London during the Production of "King of the Damned" (December 1936) 2. Subtitle: A Vibrant Snapshot of the 1930s Film Industry 3. Caption: This photograph, taken in December 1936, offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the bustling world of Gaumont British Film Studios at Northolt, West London. The studio, located in the Ealing area, was a significant hub of the British film industry during the 1930s. In this image, we see a diverse array of activities taking place, reflecting the collaborative nature of film production. The Great Western Railway steam train, positioned at the bottom left, suggests the arrival or departure of cast and crew members, equipment, or set pieces. The railway connection was crucial for the efficient transportation of people and resources to the studio. The studio itself is a hive of activity. In the foreground, a large set, possibly for the film "King of the Damned," is under construction. Workers are busy assembling the set, while others prepare props and costumes nearby. Smoke rises from the chimneys of the studio buildings, indicating that various scenes are being filmed indoors. The photograph also reveals the human element of film production. Men and women in various costumes, some in period attire, move around the set, while others engage in conversation or smoke cigarettes. The presence of children in the scene adds an unexpected touch of innocence and charm. This photograph not only provides a fascinating insight into the production of a 1930s film but also offers a snapshot of life at Gaumont British Film Studios at Northolt during an era when the magic of cinema was being created.
