* 2005: Alexander Korda Award for Best British Film ( Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, nominated )

It is generally regarded that the British film industry enjoyed a ' golden age ' in the 1940s, led by the studios of J. Arthur Rank and Alexander Korda.

Many of the most important British productions of the 1930s were produced by London Films, founded by the Hungarian emigre Alexander Korda.

At the 1993 British Academy Awards ( BAFTA ) the Alexander Korda Award for Best British Film was introduced.

The others usually begin with the world rushing to catastrophe, until people realise a better way of living: whether by mysterious gases from a comet causing people to behave rationally and abandoning a European war ( In the Days of the Comet ( 1906 )), or a world council of scientists taking over, as in The Shape of Things to Come ( 1933, which he later adapted for the 1936 Alexander Korda film, Things to Come ).

Flaherty's career in Britain ended when producer Alexander Korda removed him from the production Elephant Boy ( 1937 ), re-editing it into a commercial entertainment picture.
