Miles Mander and June in 'Riding for a King' (1926): A Captivating Moment from the Silver Screen of the 1920s This enchanting photograph captures the essence of the 1920s, as British actors Miles Mander and June find themselves immersed in the thrilling world of Stephen Donaghue's racing dramas. 'Riding for a King,' released in 1926, was one of several films in this popular series that captured the hearts of audiences during the Jazz Age. In this image, Miles Mander, with his piercing gaze and serious expression, embodies the determination and grit of a seasoned jockey. His co-star, the luminous June, exudes grace and elegance, her eyes filled with a mix of excitement and apprehension as she watches the race unfold. The photograph, taken during the production of 'Riding for a King' at Islington Studios, showcases the raw energy and passion that defined the era of silent films. The black-and-white image, with its stark contrasts and dramatic lighting, transports us back to the 1920s, a time when the magic of the movies captivated audiences and transported them to new worlds. Steve Walter, a prolific director of the time, helmed the project for Gainsborough Pictures, a company known for its innovative and groundbreaking films. 'Riding for a King' was just one of many productions that showcased the talents of Miles Mander and June, as well as the artistry of the British film industry during the 1920s. This photograph, a precious piece of cinematic history, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the movies to transport us to another time and place, and to captivate our imaginations.
