Ealing Studios

Alec Guinness appears in the Ealing comedy film Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949). Located at Ealing Green in West London, Ealing Studios, a provider of film and television production services and a production company, asserts that it holds the distinction of being the world's oldest film studio. During the final week of March and the initial week of April of 2001, and again from October to November of that same year, it served as the location for supplementary shots in Attack of the Clones.

Throughout the late 1940s and the early 1950s, Ealing Studios was responsible for creating a collection of well-received dark comedies that featured Alec Guinness in leading roles. These productions included Kind Hearts and Coronets (1949), The Man in the White Suit (1951), The Lavender Hill Mob (1952), and The Ladykillers (1955).
