In the 1930s de Wolfe created soundtracks for newsreels, working with Pathé News, British Movietone News, and British Gaumont Cinemas. This work continued throughout the Second World War and on in to the 1960s. The company was still providing music for film, including "Fame Is the Spur" (with a soundtrack composed by Dam Busters pilot John Wooldridge) and "Edward, My Son" (1948).
