George Clark (producer)

George Clark was a British film producer during the silent era. For many years Clark worked with the British star Guy Newall, whom he had met during the First World War. Together they founded Lucky Cat Films and later George Clark Productions, securing a distribution arrangement with the larger Stoll Pictures. George Clark Productions constructed studio facilities at Beaconsfield in Buckinghamshire, north-west of London, which was opened in May 1922. The films made by the company were often critically acclaimed, but George Clark Productions suffered from the general downturn in the British film industry after 1922 due to the heavy competition from American film distributors. Beaconsfield Studios was sold in 1927 and the company was dissolved in 1932. By 1933 Clark was working for a film distribution company.
