Film Weekly

Launched in 1928, the magazine became known for its gossipy interest in contemporary film stars.

The director Dinah Shurey sued for libel after her film The Last Post (1929) was not only panned in review but followed by an article by Shute questioning whether women were capable of directing films at all.

The two winners (Cyril Butcher and Aileen Despard) went on to appear in the now lost Alfred Hitchcock short An Elastic Affair but did not subsequently enjoy lengthy careers, despite being placed under contract by British International Pictures.

For 1936 these were won by The Ghost Goes West and Nova Pilbeam (for Tudor Rose) respectively.
