Everything about Herbert Wilcox totally explained

Herbert Sydney Wilcox (19 April 1892, – 15 May 1977), was a British film producer and director. He was born in Cork, Ireland but went to school in Brighton. During World War I, he served in the Royal Flying Corps. He joined the movie business in 1919 and he formed a company with Jack Graham Cutts in 1920. He set up the British National Company, which was later absorbed into British International Pictures. He also set up a 'British Hollywood' in the Elstree Studios. Although, Alfred Hitchcock's Blackmail is generally regarded as the first film with sound, Wilcox's Black Waters was trade-shown several weeks earlier. He produced more than a hundred films and directed about half of these.
He married Maude Bower, with whom he'd four children, and British film actress Anna Neagle on 9 August 1943. He was never able to repeat his pre-war success and was declared bankrupt in 1964. Prior to his death in London, England after a long illness, he donated four National Film Awards to the Glebelands Retirement Home in Wokingham.
In 1937, he won the Nations Cup for best premiere for Victoria the Great.
