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.

Arkin, Garfunkel and Sheen relax at the Ristorante Panzirone on the west side of Piazza Navona.

Hmm, straight into the sun. The church to the right of Fontana dei Fiumi is Sant'Agnese in Agone, seen in Hudson Hawk and The Adventurers and caught in many other films. SJ

Arkin follows.

No tanks. SJ

She disappears down the Via della Sant'Agnese in Agone.

Rather a cluttered alley now. SJ

The base is on the Gulf of California at San Carlos Nuevo Guaymas, Sonora in Mexico, where Lucky Lady and The Mask of Zorro also filmed. This is looking south-east.
