Granger-Binger-film

history

After the collaboration with Smith's Film Sales did not yield the desired outcome, in the mid-1920’s Filmfabriek Hollandia entered into a partnership with the British film distributor A.G. Granger. Under the name Granger-Binger-film, Hollandia’s founder Maurits H. Binger and Granger produced fourteen feature films in two and a half years.

For these films, mainly foreign directors were hired, including B.E. Doxat-Pratt and Frankland A. Richardson. The cast of these films consisted largely of foreign (British) actors. In 1922, the company achieved its greatest success when it acquired the worldwide rights to the extremely popular novel 'Bulldog Drummond' by Herman Cyril McNeil, a.k.a. 'Sapper'.

The success was due to the English journalist Elsie Cohen, who as the business leader managed to secure distribution deals for a number of Granger-Binger films in the United States, and en passant won the contract for 'Bulldog Drummond'. A year later, the untimely death of Maurits Binger and the bankruptcy of Filmfabriek Hollandia marked the end of Granger-Binger-film.
