This captivating film showcased Gaumont's ability to transport audiences into fantastical worlds beyond imagination. Gaumont British Film Studios in Shepherds Bush, London served as a hub for countless cinematic masterpieces. The studio was later relocated to Northolt, West London but continued to produce remarkable films that captivated audiences worldwide. Amongst the talented actors who graced Gaumont productions was Madeleine Carroll.
