London Films Productions is a British film and televisionproduction company founded in 1932 byAlexander Korda and from 1936 based atDenham Film Studios in Buckinghamshire, near London. The company's productions includedThe Private Life of Henry VIII (1933),Things to Come (1936),Rembrandt (1936), andThe Four Feathers (1939). The facility at Denham was taken over in 1939 byRank and merged withPinewood to form D & P Studios. The outbreak of war necessitated thatThe Thief of Bagdad (1940) be completed in California, although Korda's handful of American-made films still displayedBig Ben as their opening corporate logo.[1]

After a restructuring of Korda's UK operations in the late 1940s, London Films were made atShepperton. One of these wasThe Third Man (1949). The company's filmThe Sound Barrier (1952) won theAcademy Award for Best Sound.[2][1]

More than 40 years after Korda died in January 1956, the company returned to active film-making in 1997 withMorgan Mason as the chief executive.[3]
