Pinewood is the home of my first ever paid job in the film industry and I have spent most of my career working there, so it holds a special place in my heart. This book was written by the lovely Gareth Owen who worked in the office next door to me when I was assisting Peter Rogers. I'll have to get him to sign it!

Customer Reviews

A singular breath of fresh air!
This devilishly handsome book, weighty and colourful outwardly, is a genuine literary treasure trove of facts, trivia and groundbreakingly rare illustrations. The author - a film producer himself, it seems - clearly cares about his subject, and his dedication to our most celebrated film studio shines through in every line. The Pinewood Story was quite possibly the most important film book of 2000 and remains an essential purchase: my only regret is that it took me so long to get around to reading it.

Many happy memories
I have worked at Pinewood Studios for, I guess, forty odd years. This book was a wonderful surprise in bringing back so many of my happiest memories - and a few behind the scenes tales we all tried to forget!

Lavishly illustrated, it must rank as one of the best film books of the year.

Definitive and essential
This is an excellent history of one of Britain's finest movie studios. It's crammed with information and pictures and a mind-boggling filmography (see how many of your favourites have been filmed there). It's exhaustive and affectionate in its appreciation that this great studio has played in movie history. A must for all movie fans.
