Butcher's Film Service
Butcher's Film Service was a British film production and distribution company that specialised in low-budget productions. The company was founded by William Butcher, a chemist from Blackheath. The company survived through several production slumps in the British film industry and two World Wars. In later years the company mainly released films made at the Nettlefold Studios in Walton-upon-Thames in Surrey. Amongst the films produced after the Second World War was a series of four Paul Temple films and '' The Story of Shirley Yorke'' which proved to be a surprise hit. The company attempted to give its films a patriotic and populist appeal, and were particularly aimed at working-class audiences in industrial areas. In 1954 it was renamed Butcher's Film Distributors.Chibnall & McFaralne p.66 Selected filmography *''East Is East (1916 film)'' *'' Grim Justice'' (1916) *'' The Princess on Broadway'' (1927) starring Pauline Garon, Johnny Walker, Ethel Clayton, and Dorothy Dw ...
