Can you help:

If you have any information regarding this production, the locations or, even better, some comparison shots please contact us. Images submitted must be in Landscape orientation, as would be seen on the cinema screen, not Portrait.

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.

  • Capture 1
  • 'Now' required

A house in Cornwall, perhaps, or Elstree where the studios were based... Really Cornwall, Penally House, Penally Hill, Boscastle found by Steve Randall. Also to be seen in 'Disciple of Death'.

  • Capture 2

Two bad guys go looking for their mate.

No "bad guys" for Lionel and Cynthia but some "very nice people" in the National Trust Centre in Boscastle without whom they would not have found this cottage. On the B3263 at Bossiney by the radio mast. So thanks to all concerned. (RL)

Perhaps he's down here.

Uh-oh, yes there he is, and not well.

Trebarwith Strand. Visiting Cornwall missed this one in an otherwise fine list. SJ

Farrar now on the scene to investigate.

"Harbour View" say Lionel and Cynthia Sear, on the west side of Boscastle Harbour. It is a National Trust holiday let should you wish to stay there. (RL)

He descends to the beach

Not quite the correct angle and maybe our Cornish correspondents Lionel and Cynthia can improve. This is Rugged Gull Rock which renders the location so identifiable.

And into the caves.

A possible match but again not the best angle. SJ

  • Capture 8
  • 'Now' required

And a shot of Farrar awaiting a taxi in London, Paddington station possibly, on his way to consult a jewellers.
