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

Smith departs for the house party. Hall Barn south of Beaconsfield separated by the M40 in Buckinghamshire. Also seen in 'The Walking Stick', 'A Yank in Ermine', 'Take a Girl Like You', 'Chariots of Fire' and 'Nobody Runs Forever'.
Malcolm Tinnelly visited Hall Barn's annual autumn fair for this view with only a trace of the customary RS scaffolding. (SJ)
- Capture 2
- 'Now' required
Approaching Wrotham Park, the exterior of which provides for Gosford Park. Wrotham Park, just south of the M25 in Barnet, has done sterling cinematic service with productions covered on ReelStreets to date including 'Personal Services', 'Half Moon Street' and 'I Give It a Year'.

Atkins welcomes Macdonald downstairs.
IMDB cites Ston Easton Park in Somerset as a location but I can't find any evidence of it, and indeed the DVD mentions a set at Shepperton not only for the kitchens but also the quarters. This is below stairs at Ston Easton to save a wasted journey. SJ
