EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of glamour and romance as Ivor Novello and Annette Benson pose on the set of their 1927 film, "Downhill," directed by the legendary Alfred Hitchcock. The image, taken during the golden age of British silent films, exudes the jazz age charm of the 1920s. Ivor Novello, a renowned actor, singer, and composer, is seen here in his prime at the age of 27, with a confident and dashing expression. Annette Benson, an equally talented actress, gazes at him with a captivated look, adding to the allure of the moment. "Downhill," produced by the prestigious Gainsborough Pictures, was filmed at Islington Studios and marked an early collaboration between Ivor Novello and Alfred Hitchcock. The film, which also starred Alma Reville, is considered a significant work in the history of British cinema. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the making of this classic silent movie, transporting us back to a bygone era of Hollywood glamour and artistic innovation.
