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 little blurry but the opening scene appears to be a London square.

  • Capture 2
  • 'Now' required

The house where an ailing Henry Russell lies on his deathbed. This looks like a real building in a real street in a film that's rather lacking in outside action. In fact this is 1 Orme Square, Bayswater W2, once the home of Sir Rowland Hill, inventor of the Penny Post. (SR)

  • Capture 3
  • 'Now' required

After the reading of Henry Russell's will, Simon Russell (Guy Middleton) prepares to drive Deniston Russell (Alastair Sim) away. Is this the same location as image 002, or is it a set?

  • Capture 4
  • 'Now' required

The way that the sun shines down on Sir Charles Robson (A.E. Matthews), Deniston and Elizabeth Robson (Joyce Grenfell) suggests that this scene was shot on location rather than at the studio.

  • Capture 5
  • 'Now' required

A studio set, included just to show Elizabeth watch as Deniston attempts to hide behind Sheila Wilcott (Eleanor Summerfield).
