"None of those films are among those actors' greatest triumphs: the top-ranked scored 5.6 out of 10 when reviewed on IMDb.com, while the Los Angeles Times called For Love or Money an uninspired Britcom that gave a particular nod to the classic Four Weddings and a Funeral, but none of the grace. Yet, if you look hard enough, the movies do seem to present an intriguing backstory."
"By combining internal documents seen by the Guardian alongside information disclosed in financial filings by the films' holding companies it is tempting to guess how the producer has shrugged off commercial and artistic disappointments to continue operating in the business on such a prolific scale. Latham's movies, it seems, have been funded almost entirely by the UK taxpayer. Film-making and tax Film-making and tax have long had an uneasy relationship in the UK"
Alan Latham is credited on 81 releases since 1996 and is one of the UK's most prolific film producers. He produced a string of little-known films that featured well-known actors such as Anna Chancellor, Samuel West and Laura Fraser. Those films earned low ratings and mixed critical reception, with the top-ranked scoring 5.6 out of 10 and some reviews calling them uninspired. Internal documents and corporate financial filings indicate Latham continued producing despite commercial and artistic disappointments. The films appear to have been funded almost entirely by UK taxpayer money, highlighting an uneasy relationship between filmmaking and tax schemes in the UK.
