MGM-British Studios
MGM-British was a subsidiary of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM) initially established at Denham Film Studios in 1936, but was in limbo during the war. Following the end of hostilities, a facility was acquired in Borehamwood, and remained in use until its closure in 1970.
==Pre-war==
The films produced at Denham were ''A Yank at Oxford'' (1938), ''The Citadel'' (1938), ''Goodbye, Mr. Chips'' (1939) and ''Busman's Honeymoon''/''Haunted Honeymoon'' (1940).
Production was initially headed by Michael Balcon. However, he left after a single film and was replaced by Victor Saville. The subsidiary was in abeyance during the war.
Meanwhile, Amalgamated Studios Ltd constructed a large studio on the north side of Elstree Way between 1935 and 1937. A January 1937 deal for eight films to be made for the American studio Columbia Pictures soon collapsed. The company was unable to meet the cost of building work, and sold the facility to Rank, which was not interested in using the studios itself, but wanted to stop John Maxwell's British International Pictures (BIP) from being able to compete more effectively with its own new Pinewood Studios.〔Warren ''British Film Studios: An Illustrated History'', London: B.T. Batsford, 2001, p.82〕 During the war, the studios were leased from Rank by the Ministry of Works which used them for storage.〔Warren, p.83〕
