Four Days

The film opens with Francis Templar (Hugh McDermott) teeing off whilst playing golf with his wife Lucienne Templar (Kathleen Byron). Anthony Spencer tells us that it's definitely Seaford Head Golf Course in Sussex, you can see the cliffs beyond Newhaven in the background but that sign is suspect as the 10th is a short par 3 and faces in the opposite direction (north-east).

An additional shot, as the camera pans, to aid identification, a coastal course. I bet that development has grown. It is a fair bit further west than this spot but the clump of trees in the centre of the skyline leaves Anthony Spencer in no doubt that this is Seaford Head Golf Course on Southdown Road, Seaford.

After retrieving his ball from the cliff edge Mr and Mrs Templar receive a message from their butler, Baxter (H.G.Stoker), that a telephone call has been received from Mr Keylin Snr asking that Mr Templar returns to the office.

Action moves to the City of London. Royal Exchange and Threadneedle Street, London EC2 to the left.

All changed somewhat on the left hand side.

I thought that I knew the City of London but I cannot place this. Thanks to Peter's long term memory and the clock, he identifies this as Throgmorton Street from Threadneedle Street, London EC2

Peter's memory serves him well.

A view of Templar’s business office building before cutting to him at his desk. Christopher Matheson admits that he had a "light bulb moment" and came up with Piccadilly and the corner of Down Street, London W1.

Whilst the light was on I just had to provide the now. All except the main building remains.

Action moves to Johnny Keylin’s (Peter Reynolds) apartment where his father tells him that he is aware of his embezzling funds from Templar’s business. Ray Glenister says that this is Stockleigh Hall at 51 Prince Albert Road, London NW8. (RL)

Absolutely correct Ray and thanks to James for leading me to the correct corner.

The apartment block of Mr and Mrs Templar’s pied-à-terre where, the night before, his financial problems had been aired. Clive Turner has located the block as Stockleigh Hall, which can also be seen in ‘No Place for Jennifer’, ‘One Wild Oat’ and ‘Smart Alec’.

Now framed by substantial greenery.

To save his business, Francis has to go to America and we cut to an airport and the view of a Douglas DC-3 (with thanks to "WHBM" of pprune.org Forum) which "A30yoyo" of pprune.org Forum believes could be Northolt.

He doesn’t seem to be boarding that plane but maybe this was shot at Northolt.

Whilst Francis is away Lucienne and Johnny continue their affair and stay at the Lodge House of the Templar’s home but only Baxter is made aware of Johnny staying there. Johnny goes to the house to announce his arrival. Unknown location.

Johnny runs to the village to warn Lucienne’s friend, who she is supposed to be staying with, that Francis has returned home and caught them together in the house. Unknown location but there are distinctive buildings in the background.

As Francis goes to talk to the Butler in the garden Lucienne leaves the Lodge House. Unknown location.

Failing in her attempt to “poison” Francis she decides to leave the home the following morning. Holmwood House, Kingston Hill, Kingston upon Thames, Surrey. (SR)

With his marriage in disrepair he decides to go and play golf. Holmwood House, which in 1997 was to become the home of Ronnie Wood from the Rolling Stones and wife Jo. (SR)

At his golf club he decides to jump off the cliff.

He survives the fall but cannot remember the preceding four days, although odd snippets seem familiar, and so decides to walk to the cliffs. The entrance gates to the house with the Lodge House that have been too dark to capture earlier in the film. The film concludes with studio scenes and locations seen previously.
