Wednesday fun for Insurance Professionals
January 7th, 2010
Your intrepid Guide, always looking for material and relevant news about business insurance, came across something that only true insurance gurus and geeks (ahem, professionals) would enjoy. It is mid-week, after the holidays, and seems to be a good time to post about something entertaining.
Hulu.com posted a movie made in 1936 called “Lloyd’s of London.” Yes, it is a movie about the founding of Lloyd’s. Tyrone Power plays Jonathan Blake and through war and romance he helps establish Lloyd’s. As a history buff, I can tell you that the movie is only loosely based on real events. The Lloyd’s web page has a history of its company in Flash format if you are interested in a more accurate rendition (but, no Tyrone Power or Virginia Field).
This movie was actually nominated for two Oscars in 1937 for Art Direction and Film Editing. It runs about two hours and makes the founding of an insurance business very exciting. Enjoy!
