EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, June Duprez, a rising starlet of Alexander Korda Film Productions, is seen in action on the set of Denham Studios during the production of the R.A.F. film, "The Lion Has Wings." The year was 1939, and the world was on the brink of war. Amidst the tension and preparation, June's role in the splendid Wilhelmshaven raid film took on an added significance. These reportage photographs offer a unique glimpse into the making of the film, showcasing June amidst the Air Raid Precautions (A.R.P.) preparations at Denham Studios. The image of June, dressed in her practical yet attractive siren suit for alarms at home, encapsulates the spirit of wartime effort and the blending of glamour and necessity that defined the 1930s. As the world around them prepared for the challenges of the Second World War, June and her colleagues at Denham Studios continued their work, bringing the thrilling story of "The Lion Has Wings" to life. These stills offer a rare and fascinating glimpse into the behind-the-scenes world of film production during a time of great upheaval and change. June Duprez's career spanned the 1930s and 1940s, and she became known for her roles in films such as "The Man in the Iron Mask" and "The Four Feathers." Her work during this period reflects the resilience and adaptability of the entertainment industry in the face of war and the challenges it presented. This photograph serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art and creativity, even in the most trying of times.
