 | | The 79-year-old actor has thrown his weight behind a plan to save a part of British cinema history, calling for a wealthy backer to bail out troubled Elstree film studios. |
 | | Elstree, located in Borehamwood, just outside London, was bought by Hertsmere Borough Council in 1996, but now needs a major cash injection to stay afloat. |
 | | In its 80-year history, Elstree has played host to such directors as Alfred Hitchcock, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, and such iconic films as Goodbye, Mr Chips, Star Wars and 2001: A Space Odyssey. |
