NO “PRESTIGE FILMS”
MR. RANK’S INTENTION MORE AND CHEAPER TYPES (10 a.m.) LONDON, Dec. 14. Mr. J. Arthur Rank has decided to dispense with expensive “prestige films” and increase the output with cheaper productions, says the Daily Herald.' “Hamlet,” which was completed recently at a cost of £400,000, will probably be Mr. Rank’s last expensive production. , Because no Hollywood film has entered Britain following the imposition of the tax on imported films four months ago, Mr. Rank intends to make 48 films in 1943 compared with 30 in 1047.
