Vintage photograph from 1945. Featuring baron and film magnate J. Arthur Rank seated on a stool with a shotgun, his gamekeeper visible in the foreground. Tipped-on mimeograph description, plus rubber stamps for the photographer and Eagle-Lion Distribution to the verso. Son of a wealthy industrial flour milliner, J. Arthur Rank entered the film industry when calls for films upholding British values, as opposed to those of their American film counterparts, spurred him to create a production company of his own. His Methodist beliefs guided his company, the General Cinema Finance Corporation, and would remain a cornerstone of his fast-growing cinema empire. In part because of Rank's efforts, the 1940s represented a golden age of British cinema, as can be seen by 1946 box office, when for the first and only time British films did better at the domestic box office than American ones. His legacy as a producer includes works like Laurence Olivier's 1944 film "Henry V," and Gabriel Pascal's 1945 "Caesar and Cleopatra" starring Vivien Leigh. As this photograph would suggest, though the baron was highly involved in the work of his cinema and film studio empire, he retained a strong interest in breeding smooth-coated black Labrador retrievers, and using them during his hobbyist hunting. Shot at the baron's estate Sutton Manor, near Winchester England. 8 x 10 inches. Near Fine.
