Verdict, The (An Edgar Wallace Mystery)

A fight brings Joe Armstrong and his companion Carola Michelle to England when he's deported from the United States as an undesirable.

After answering Journalists' questions at the airport, Joe and Carola head to their room at the Albemarle Hotel where they have lunch with financier Larry Mason. Dave W identifies this as 60 Sloane Avenue, London SW3. (RL)

Chelsea Cloisters looking south-west. The same trees. SJ

Superintendent Brett and Detective Sergeant Good arrive at the hotel to arrest Joe for a murder he committed 24 years previously, before he left for North America. Following on from the previous Capture Dave moves around to Makins Street. (RL)

Most unsatisfactory but this is perhaps the best one can do without access to Chelsea Cloisters. SJ

Joe is held at Wandsworth Prison whilst awaiting trial at the Old Bailey. Wandsworth Prison, Heathfield Road in London SW18. This footage can be seen in 'The Criminal' whilst various views of the prison appear in other productions including 'The Cracksman', 'Poor Cow', 'Dentist On the Job', 'The Mail Van Murder' and 'The Ringer'.

Small time racketeer Danny Thorne and his associates watch Carola and Joe's solicitor Prendergast (John Bryans) as they leave the prison.

After Prendergast gets into his car, Harry (Glyn Jones) drives Danny Thorne (Paul Stassino) and Peter as they follow Carola.

Waiting for Carola, Larry Mason (Nigel Davenport) sees her grabbed and dragged into Thorne's Jaguar.

Mason speeds away towards Thorne's office.

Arriving outside his office just behind Mason, Thorne gets out of the car as Peter (Derek Partridge) takes Carola from the back seat and into the building. Whilst it may say Draycott Avenue over the door Dave has found that this is 200 Walton Street, London SW3. (RL)

The black door has replaced "Shoe repairs" and the rest of Chanel has replaced "Andrew for Men". The address of Chanel is indeed 200 Walton Street though it shares a corner with Draycott Avenue. SJ

A Post Office van carrying jury summons letters drives through London. The corner of Mansion House Street and Princes Street EC2.

The same corner from street level. SJ

Hired by Mason, Johnny gains access to the van and collects the summonses. The junction of Poultry, Lombard Street, Cornhill and Threadneedle Street with the Mansion House to the right of centre. The location can be seen in many other films including 'A Touch of Class', 'The Salvage Gang', 'Circus of Fear', 'The Green Man', 'The Passionate Friends'.

Not so busy as this junction now has traffic restrictions. SJ

Johnny pockets the letters that will enable Mason to infiltrate and fix the jury to ensure that Joe walks free. Newgate Street in EC1 with the General Post Office as the backcloth.

There have been many changes here looking to the west. SJ

The van passes through a busy junction where a Policeman is on point duty. Panning right from the previous capture brings St. Martin-le-Grand into sight with Newgate Street to the left.

A pan to the right to look north provides matches on the right of St. Martin-Le-Grand. SJ

Getting out of the van when his task is completed, Johnny takes the letters to Mason in exchange for his payment. Facing the junction of King Edward Street with Newgate Street in EC1.

The replacement building is now long established. SJ

Watched by Thorne's henchman Harry, Johnny (David Cargill) leaves Mason's office. Facing Ibex House at numbers 162 - 164 Arthur Road in Merton SW19.

Just to the west of Durnsford Road looking south. SJ

While Superintendent Brett makes enquiries about Mason, the financier drives to a telephone box after receiving a cheque from Joe.

Mason gets out of his Morris 1100 and calls Miss Michelle just after the Superintendent finishes questioning her.

Substituting himself for one of the officially called Jurors, Mason is sworn in at the Old Bailey in readiness for Joe's trial. The dome of the Central Criminal Court on Old Bailey.

Paul Lincoln captured the dome from ground level. (RL)

The shot tilts down to reveal more of the building. The Central Criminal Court at the corner of Holborn Viaduct and Old Bailey at London’s EC1 and EC4 boundary. Various views of the building can been seen in other productions including in ‘The Naked Edge’, 'Smart Alec', 'Murder in Reverse', 'The Walking Stick', ‘Seven Days to Noon’ and ‘Black Orchid’.

Significantly less traffic than seen in 1964 but Paul was still not prepared to risk life and limb in the road. (RL)

Leaving court after betraying Joe and leading the jury to find him guilty, Mason leaves court after the death sentenced is pronounced. Outside the Central Criminal Court on Old Bailey in EC4.

Another ground level comparative shot from Paul. (RL)

Getting ready to fly to Rio, Mason loads his case into the back of the car in which Carolia is hiding. Dave W found that Mason had quite a long walk from EC4 to put his case into the car, this is the South West side of the Brompton Oratory, in London SW7. (RL)

Green cones: there's a difference! SJ

Mason drives the two of them to London Airport. Hogarth Roundabout in W4 with buildings on Eastbury Grove and Dorchester Grove in the background and Great West Road coming in from the right behind the Regent garage.

Just as the traffic priority changes, a little gap can open up on this busy road. SJ

The camera pans to confirm Mason's direction. Hogarth Roundabout with the A316 Great Chertsey Road, Burlington Lane heading off to the left and the A4 Hogarth Lane on the right with Hamilton House as the background.

Panning left, one can make out Hamilton House under the flyover. SJ

Carolia asks Mason to explain what happened in court. Through the windscreen can be seen the girder railway bridge over Great West Road in Brentford, Middlesex that takes the line south from Brentford Town goods station to Brentford Dock.

Mason and Carolia arrive at the airport where Superintendent Brett and his Sergeant are waiting. Terminal 3, formerly the Oceanic Terminal, at Heathrow Airport in Hillingdon, Middlesex.
