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

The Hotel Central, town centre, as it would be. But which town? ... Solved by Steve Randall and he has found the Central Hotel, 26 Bd Gassendi, 04000 Digne-Les-Bains, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence

  • Capture 2
  • 'Now' required

A short run down the road. Go well.....Go Shell... Steve guesses that this is just down the road in Digne-les-Bains. Manuel G. adds that Cathy (Erica Cool) has already reached Place Général de Gaulle, seen in the next capture, but is still pursued by Tony. The main square has changed now by building of an underground multi-storey car park, so the Shell service station, then located at the southern edge, disappeared then.
