Gaumont - British
The Gaumont-British Picture Corporation - produced and
distributed films and operated a cinema chain in the United Kingdom.
It is the parent company of Gainsborough Pictures
It was founded in 1898 as the British subsidiary of the French Gaumont
Film Company. It became independent of its French parent in 1922 when
Isidore Ostrer acquired control of Gaumont-British. In 1927 a leading
silent film maker, the Ideal Film Company, merged with Gaumont.
British-Gaumont with Gainsborough Pictures at their Lime Grove
Studios made films including Alfred Hitchcock's adaptation of The 39
Steps (1935). In the 1930s the company employed 16,000 people.
In the USA Gaumont-British had its own distribution operation for its films
until December 1938, when it gave up distribution to 20th Century Fox. In
1941 the Rank Organisation bought Gaumont-British and its sister
company Gainsborough Pictures
The Gaumont-British name is now owned by Gregory Motton

a seperate company from French Gaumont. You can also buy a book
