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.

Perkins' house above the sea. Initial rumours that this is Folkestone were correct. Click the date to see the now.

Sandgate Point, near Cliff Road. This is on a footpath running west from The Leas, which then continues past the house down to Radnor Cliff Crescent. SJ.

Looking the other way.

That's Metropole Court (hidden by wall and taxi in the capture) in the background, also seen in Lady Godiva Rides Again. SJ.

Ireland takes a taxi.

Same wall. Taken as close to the gates as possible, but showing a different depth of background focus. SJ.

Perkins in the garden of his house. A cliff-top view which may help pinpoint the location.

Best view I could manage of the cliffs from the garden without actually entering the garden. SJ.

Bronson and Perkins in the same place. Dymchurch Road to the west or Dover Hill to the east would be my guesses.

The house is lower left in this pic. LBB. All credit to Brian for spotting the house on google maps, with thanks. SJ.
