RKO Forty Acres was a film studio backlot in the United States, owned by RKO Pictures (and later Desilu Productions), located in Culver City, California.Best known as Forty Acres [1] and "the back forty," [2] it was also called "Desilu Culver," [3] the "RKO backlot," and "Pathé 40 Acre Ranch," depending on which studio owned the property at the time.

RKO released 42 films in 1935, of which it produced 39. There was yet another shake-up in the management structure of the studio, but the company saw its first profit since 1930, albeit a small one of $684,000. Highlights of the year included Alice Adams, and Becky Sharp (the first full-length feature film made entirely in Technicolor).
