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.

The Man (Harry H. Corbett) takes Joy Adams (Christina Gregg) to his studio in Soho. Ray Glenister has established that this is St. Annes Court, London W1, an alley that also features in 'Where Strangers Meet', 'The Share Out', 'Son of a Stranger', 'Secrets of a Door-to-Door Salesman', 'The Small World of Sammy Lee’ and ‘Inadmissible Evidence’.

A little redevelopment seems to have taken place to the right. (PW)

The two enter the seedy building. Still St. Anne's Court . . . . . (RL)

Appearing in his normal state, the Man heads to the offices of Lennie Ross, theatrical agent. Once again St. Anne's Court looking towards Wardour Street from the Dean Street end. With thanks to Ray Glenister for the identification. (RL)

Peter's done well here considering that he doesn't have the advantage of the film camera's focal length.
