List of Paramount British films
List of films produced in the United Kingdom by the British subsidiary of Paramount Pictures. Initially founded at Islington Studios in the early 1920s, it was later revived following the passage of the 1927 Films Act allowing the company to produce films that qualified for British nationality and were eligible for a quota. During the 1930s the company produced or distributed a mixture of quota quickies and higher budget films.
