EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the magical world of Denham Studios in 1937, as depicted in this illustration by Tony Wysard. This intensely populated image invites us to imagine the lively atmosphere of the restaurant nestled within the bustling film production complex. Wysard's caricatures of famous personalities add a delightful touch to the scene, with David Niven and Gracie Fields sharing a table and exchanging laughter at table 7. Rex Harrison, Lawrence Olivier, and Vivien Leigh can be spotted deep in conversation at table 5, while Charles Laughton enjoys a solitary meal at table 12. Denham Studios, located on a sprawling 165-acre estate, was a hub of cinematic activity during the 1930s. Covering over 28 acres, the studio boasted seven sound stages, two of which were air-conditioned and the largest in Europe. This technological innovation allowed for more efficient filming and attracted numerous stars to Denham. The artist, Tony Wysard, playfully peeps into the scene from the top left corner, adding a personal touch to the illustration. Wysard's masterful use of color and detail brings the vibrant restaurant to life, transporting us back to an era of glamour and creativity in the film industry.
