From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Elstree Group was a name given to a financing scheme that operated for British films made by Associated British Pictures Corporation in the early 1950s. Associated British would make movies with part of the fiance being provided by the National Film Finance Corporation.[1]

It was one of three such schemes that operated around this time, the others being British Film-Makers (which operated through the Rank Organisation) and Group 3 Films.[2][3] The Elstree Group was the least prolific, making five films in all. What films were made had to be approved by Robert Clark of Associated British and James Lawrie of the NFFC.[4][5]

ABPC, unlike Rank, refused to establish a separate holding and management company for the NFFC-financed films. [6]
