One of the first features in the HAMMER DRACULA MONTH celebration on the rebooted theblackboxclub.com website will be the story-behind-the-story of HAMMER FILMS winning the prestigious QUEENS AWARD TO INDUSTRY !
''Hammer proved themselves to be the most successful British film company ever. In 1968, after reporting export earnings in excess of £2.7 million, Hammer received the Queen's Award to Industry - the first time the award had gone to a film production company, yet just a decade later, they were struggling to get a single film into production.''
The feature will present several unseen images from the award presentation on the set of DRACULA HAS RISEN FROM THE GRAVE and clips from the BBC MADE IN BRITAIN television programme.
