Gaumont-British Picture Corporation was the British arm of the French film company Gaumont. The company became independent of its French parent in 1922, when Isidore Ostrer acquired control of Gaumont-British.
The company's Lime Grove Studios produced films such as Alfred Hitchcock's 1935 version of The 39 Steps, and his 1938 film The Lady Vanishes.
In 1941, Gaumont-British along with its sister company Gainsborough Pictures, was acquired by the Rank Organisation.
