| book description |

This open access book examines how Pinewood came to be Britainâ€™s dominant film studio complex, focusing on key years following the Second World War. It presents a revisionist, micro history of the studio and its longevity during a particularly turbulentperiod, explaining Pinewoodâ€™s survival at a time when other major film studios such as Denham closed. This book also provides contemporary insights into how Pinewoodâ€™s technologies, practices, and filmmaking methods compared to Hollywoodâ€™s. Thirteen films produced in1946â€“47 are analysed in detail, tracking how economic pressures engendered many creative techniques and innovative technologies. Prevailing cultures of management and labour organization are foregrounded, as well as insights into being a studio employee. These are vividly brought to life through an in-depthfocus on the in-house studio magazine Pinewood Merry-Go-Round, which provides rare details of sports and leisure activities organized at the studios.Â
