We are aware that there are films on the site that were added when the criteria for the inclusion of locations was very different from today and, as a result, there may be scenes missing from some productions. Please do not forward additional screen captures to us but bring the detail to our attention, for we do, and are, 're-addressing' these older entries as time allows.

  • 'Now' required

The start of the film sees a man attempting, and failing, to get across La Manche (The English Channel) for an international rugby match between France and England. Aéroport de Calais - Dunkerque, near Marck, Pas-de-Calais, France.

  • 'Now' required

Next, a ferry is tried but missed, with the man's car ending up in the harbour.

  • 'Now' required

Finally, the Man (Pierre Tchernia) swims the 21 miles.

The narration describes London's famous fog before typical street scenes are shown. Typical indeed, Christopher Matheson has identified this as Chiswell Street, EC1 facing west. Milton Street is behind the camera at left and that’s Lamb’s Passage at right. As can be seen the fascia below that first group of three windows has been lowered. (RL)

The terrace survives amongst new development. SJ

Bowler hatted 'City gents' run from the delivery dray. Dave W picked up on those girls with bags of chips that in turn led him to Ashmill Street NW1, looking towards Lisson Grove and St Edward's Convent with its ecclesiastical windows. (RL)

Following up on his lead, Dave visited the fish and chip shop in Lisson Grove and captured this shot for us on his way there. (RL)

Newspapers featuring the game are sold by a street vendor. Dave W has that the view is across to 501 Oxford Street, London W1, now the western end of Primark store. (RL)

Looking east from close to Marble Arch. The top half of Primark remains the same. SJ

A coach carrying French supporters arrives in London on its way to Twickenham. Looking along Regent Street from Piccadilly Circus in W1.

The same spot, captured by Peter.

As the match draws to a close, the home crowd erupts when England score and two of Henri Martineau's front teeth are accidentally knocked out.

Different opposition and forgive the blur as I had to hurry to match the 10 before Owen Farrell converted. It ended 12-6 incidentally. SJ

Holding his mouth, Henri Martineau (Robert Dhéry) makes his way back to the coach worrying, as it's only two days before his marriage to Nicole. Twickenham Stadium, Whitton Road in Twickenham, Middlesex.

Not an exact match but this shows the gate seen in the "then" background and again in capture 11. The Rowland HIll Memorial Gate was moved from the south-west corner to behind the west stand in the 90s, with an added gold leafed Coade Stone lion. It re-opened as the Rose and Poppy gate in 2016. SJ

England wins the game and the crowds leave the stadium. Whitton Road, Twickenham. The location was seen in 'A Run for Your Money'.

As with many stadia, completed rebuilt. The open air south stand to the right has been built over as well as the north stand. The Lion gate has moved left round to the west. SJ

As they leave the car park on their motorcycle and sidecar, Lord Brisburn (Richard Vernon) and Lady Yvette (Colette Brosset) catch up with the supporters coach and are seen by Gros Max (Henri Génès). Rugby Road in Twickenham identified by P. J. Brown.

John Harwood visited Rugby Road. (SJ)

Max gets the name of Lord Brisburn's dentist whilst Henri hides from his sister, Lady Yvette. P. J. locates this as the junction of Rugby Road with Whitton Dene and Mogden Lane, now the site of a roundabout.

John H. sent this. (SJ)

The coach carrying Henri and his fellow rugby supporters leaves Twickenham behind. P. J. Brown advises that Clitheroe Cottages stand to the left on the corner of Rugby Road and Whitton Dene. They were demolished when the roundabout was built in the 1980s.

John again. (SJ)

Lord and Lady Brisburn lead the way along Albert Embankment. Peninsula Heights stands to the left in London SE1.

And Peninsula Heights is still there. But many more taller buildings have joined in along the riverside. SJ

En route to the dentist, the opportunity is taken to see some sights. Peter identifies Horseguards Parade looking towards the Spencer Compton Statue on Horse Guards Avenue in SW1 with the Earth and Water statue on right.

And Peter send in this shot to support his identification. Now with security bollards. (RL)

The supporters' coach approaches Mr W. Martin's dental surgery. Ladbroke Grove W11 from the corner of Kensington Park Gardens with Lansdowne Crescent running off on the left.

Nice clear leaf-free shot. SJ

The Royal Blue coach pulls up outside the building that also houses a theatrical agency. The vehicle carries Southern National fleet number 1289 and dates from 1952. The junction of Ladbroke Grove and Kensington Park Gardens.

And very grand the building is too. SJ

Henri watches his friends drive away before entering fictional 30 Queen Street. Kensington Park Gardens in W11.

Looking east. SJ

Whilst Henri is treated by the highly recommended dentist, Lord and Lady Brisburn near their London home.

Taken From Lowndes Street, SW1, looking west towards Cadogan Place. If I turned around, I would see locations from The Servant, Escape Route, Zee & Co. and The Assassination Bureau. SJ

The camera pans with the combination.

The arch, leading to Harriet Walk, and building behind were also visible in 'The Servant'. But what is odd is that the building looks more modern than today's. SJ

Lord Brisburn and his wife 'Vévette' turn into the mews where they live.

Change of fenestatration if not configuration. SJ

As the two arrive at their garage to be met by the Lord's valet, actress Dianna Dors is held at gunpoint in the agency next door to the dentist.

Again, same shape but a different Harriet Walk, SW1. SJ

After donning fellow patient Bob Fortescue's police overcoat and helmet and becoming involved in the rescue of Ms Dors, Henri is taken away as a hero by Inspector Savory. Kensington Park Gardens, London W11.

Maybe it's my angle but the trees seem to have moved. SJ

With a motorcycle escort, Henri is driven to the police headquarters. Jim has identified this for us as the Royal Veterinary College, Royal College Street, London NW1 (RL)

You cannot keep Peter away from a NW1 location. (RL)

The car carries the Inspector and who he thinks is PC 202 through the headquarters gateway. Again, says Jim, also The Royal Veterinary College on Royal College Street NW1 just along from a location in 'The Man Who Knew Too Much'. (RL)

And "now" says Peter. (RL)

Henri escapes from the police headquarters by escorting a captured Train Robber (Arthur Mullard) from the premises. Once again The Royal Veterinary College on Royal College Street identified by Jim. (RL)

Peter captures the same spot. (RL)

  • 'Now' required

When they're far enough from the headquarters, Henri lets the prisoner go.

Constable Baxter (Percy Herbert) asks the Gate Keeper (John Comer) if he's seen his prisoner. The Royal Veterinary College, Royal College St, London NW1 located by Jim. (RL)

There is no ladder now and Peter admits that he might even have the wrong door but the drainpipes match! (RL)

Keeping his mouth closed as instructed by Mr Martin, Henri begins to make his way back to the surgery. Clive Turner recognised this as the Parrs Head public house on the corner of Plender Street and Bayham Place in NW1. The pub closed in 2011 after 150 years of trading and the building has been converted for residential use.

no. 73 Plender Street is still recognisable as a former pub as are the residential buildings behind. SJ

The Counterfeit Constable hails a taxi. Plender Street in Camden identified by Clive Turner.

Looking east along Plender Street with a match of the tall building on the corner of Camden Street. SJ

When he finds the cab already occupied, Henri moves on by foot. Plender Street NW1 with the corner of Regina Street on the left located by Clive Turner.

Regina Street has been completely swallowed up by this block called Trimdon and rest of the estate behind. SJ

Appearing through the doorway of the post office, Henri spots Vévette and her husband before running away. Shepperton Studios again.

Henri nods when a motorist asks if he can park for just two minutes. This looks like Chalcot Square in NW1 which is also seen in 'Rattle Of A Simple Man'.

Chalcot Square at the corner of Berkley Road. Behind the greenery, the background fits but the corner has been redesigned. (PW)

Whilst a traffic warden places a ticket on the parked car, Henri approaches a man who gives directions after reading the slip of paper. Chalcot Crescent NW1 with Primrose Hill behind Regent's Park Road in the right distance.

The same location now. (PW)

When a police car approaches, Henri shields himself behind a Blind Man (Colin Blakely) as he crosses the road.

Rothwell Street from Chalcot Crescent in London NW1 with Primrose Hill Road in the right background. (PW)

Remaining silent, Henri wanders through the streets. Goldington Crescent, London NW1 identified by Jim. (RL)

Peter's shot shows that the tree remains in place. (RL)

A group of ladies comfort Gérald (Mark Lester), a lost boy, as Henri approaches. It naturally follows from capture 47 that this is also Goldington Crescent, London NW1. (RL)

Peter found that the bench was no more. (RL)

Gérald follows Henri as he runs away after the boy is handed over to him by the women. A slight change of location advises Jim, this is Chalton Street, London NW1 (RL)

And Peter's shot shows that that "slight change" to the right. (RL)

Henri dodges around a corner, temporarily losing the youngster. Regent's Park Road NW3 with Rothwell Street running to the right.

The lamp post has moved! (PW)

Gérald spots Henri and continues to chase after him. The sign on the lamp post points to Primrose Hill station and this is Regent's Park Road at the junction with Primrose Hill Road in NW3. Gordon Hawtin explains that in the top left background are properties on St. George's Terrace which can be seen in 'The Look of Love' and the Queen's Hotel stands to the right.

The same junction now. (PW)

As the supporters' coach comes into view, policemen chase Lady Yvette onto the main road. The corner of St. Leonard's Road and Grove Road in Windsor, Berkshire.

Same place 2015.(JT)

Henri creeps away before the young lad returns. The steps lead to Goswell Hill.

Still there.JT

Having finally escaped from little Gérald, Henri fins a secluded place to remove the overcoat and helmet. Goswell Hill, Windsor. The location was used in ‘Five Days', ‘The Gambler and the Lady', ‘From Beyond the Grave', 'Whispering Smith Hits London' and 'The Quatermass Xperiment'.

Some alterations/improvements, but the redbrick columns remain with their distinctive banding. (JT)

Now revealing his tricolour top, Henri stops when he turns a corner. Goswell Hill alongside Windsor & Eton Central station.

The top of Goswell Hill as it looks now. (Steve Randall)

A shout goes up when a gang of English supporters recognise the French supporter. Goswell Hill in Windsor, Berkshire. Also seen in 'The Quatermass Xperiment'.

The band of brickwork at the top of the street has been demolished, however, the remains of this banding can be seen in the distance on the right. The cobbled street remains.(JT)

The Blind Man approaches as Vévette hides from two police officers. The corner of Chalcot Crescent and Rothwell Street NW1.

The same corner now. (PW)

Now but not from the middle of the road. SJ

Now reunited with mother, Gérald sees Henri walk past the park where he's playing. Dave W usefully used a wet afternoon to locate this long outstanding spot, Victoria Tower Gardens, London SW1 looking along Abingdon Street towards Parliament Square. (RL)

I'm using the two tree-trunks - the one on the right is hard to see - to help here. SJ

Now a delivery area, Steve Randall captured the bottom of Goswell Hill with Bridgewater Way to the left and the back of Daniel of Windsor's store on the right.

The Frenchmen run through a tunnel as Henri approaches. A bit of a giveaway but this is Bridgewater Way in Windsor.

Steve Randall found that Bridgewater Way is now hosting a Portacabin.
