Lack Of British Films

VISCOUNT BRIDGEMAN told the

| House of Lords recently that he was beginning to wonder if we should have any genuine British alms at all next year.

Many of their lordships would be aware, he said, that the New York Film Society voted "The Citadel" the best Blm for 1938, and he thought it was generally admitted that during 1938 there had been a number of outstandingly good films produced int this country.

But in the year ending March 31, 1937, there were 220 British films, while in the year which would end March 31. 1930. it was anticipated that only 00 would have been re- gistered.

Of that 99, all but ten were made in Britain on Amerienn orders or American money.

Only the remaining ten were genuinely British made on British orders and British money. There were eight studios which had been without a single picture for twelve months.

This year the average film techni- clan had worked eight nod a half weeks out of a possible. 39 weeks.

Lord Strabolg, supporting the motion, sald In the present year British production would be about 80. Out of the 80, about 00 were quola filma, and only 20 were inde- pendently produced.

That was a very alarming situation. Lord Templemore, replying to the debate, admitted bad features In the situation, but said the Government could not dictate to the City about finance.
