The London Films Logo from Laurence Olivier's Richard III (1955).

London Films Productions is a Rank and merged with Pinewood to form D & P Studios. The outbreak of war necessitated that The Thief of Bagdad (1940) was completed in California, although Korda's handful of American-made films still had Big Ben for their opening corporate logo.

After a restructuring of Korda's UK operations in the late 1940s, London Films were now made at Shepperton. One of these was The Third Man (1949). The company's film The Sound Barrier (1952) won the Academy Award for Best Sound.[1]

1929–1950
1951–1975
1976–2000
2001–present
