Ealing Studios Films

Add to my lists | Print this list

Ealing Studios are best known for their run of now classic comedies of the late 1940s and early 1950s. The heyday of Ealing Studios lasted approximately from 1939 to 1951, generating a roster of films that projected-by design-a vivid and particular image of Britain and Britishness. Studio head Sir Michael Balcon gathered artists whose films, whether comedies or dramas, offer superior acting performances with a feeling of ensemble that reinforces the values of character, responsibility, and community. The company originated in the early sound era, and from 1938 under the stewardship of Michael Balcon produced many fine films which deserve to be better known.
