Full Treatment, The

On the road to Dover, Denise Colby (Diane Cilento) picks herself up from the road after a head on crash.

A Lorry Driver stops nearby and rushes over to help.

Police and an ambulance arrive on the scene where racing driver Alan Colby's Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia rests after the collision.

Driving for the first time after the accident, Alan Colby (Ronald Lewis) manoeuvres his Jaguar XK through roadworks. The sign to the left tells us that this is somewhere near Fréjus in Var on the Côte-d'Azur while Richard Winchester discovered that the Jaguar was still taxed for road use as of June 2023.

Ahead, a van approaches and Colby begins to panic.

Stopping the car, Colby gets out, and walks away. Manuel Gurtner explains that this is, what is now, the small car park which also serves as lookout point over the Calanque des Deux Frères on Avenue de Miramar on part of what was then Route Nationale 98 in the Col de l'Esquillon area of Théoule-sur-Mer. The conspicuous, then detached apartment building at the top left of the slope is still at 31, Boulevard de l'Esterel.

Shocked at placing his hands around his wife's neck, Colby gets back into the car and Denise drives them on to complete their delayed honeymoon. In the distance, Manuel Gurtner points out the promontory at the Golfe de la Napoule, on which Cannes is located.

The couple arrive at Château de Sorel where they are given the best room in the hotel. Manuel Gurtner's research turned up the restaurant Château de la Galère, standing in for the fictional hotel, situated in the slope above the tiny harbour called Port La Galère in Théoule-sur-Mer.

As they walk around the hotel, Colby spots the téléphérique to the beach. Located by Manuel Gurtner, this is the view from the southern side of Hôtel de la Tour de L'Esquillon standing across Route Nationale 98, opposite property 17 on Avenue de Miramar in Théoule-sur-Mer, Alpes-Maritimes department, Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region.

While Denise complains, Colby takes a ride in the cable car. Manuel Gurtner's research suggests that the téléphérique connecting the hotel to its private beach has long gone.

At the small harbour below the hotel, a Fisherman attempts to sell an octopus to Colby.

Returning to the hotel, Colby walks inside with Denise followed by Dr. David Prade (Claude Dauphin), a psychiatrist based in London. In the background, Manuel Gurtner draws our attention to the the corner tower of the property 17 on Avenue de Miramar.

That evening Mr. and Mrs, Colby dine with Dr. Prade and his friends at his villa by the beach. The establishing shot shows Property 3b on Avenue du Trayas, part of the former Route Nationale 98 in Théoule-sur-Mer which was found by Manuel Gurtner.

A montage of neon signs depict Colby's flight after he storms out from dinner and drives into town to find his friend Harry Stonehouse at the Hôtel Méditerranée.

Arriving back at the hotel with fresh sardines the following day, Colby asks the Concierge how to say "I have brought you," in French.

Finding the room empty, Colby looks out of the window to see Denise swimming in the sea near the small harbour. Unfortunately, Manuel learnt that Château de la Galère has long since disappeared and the estate was eventually built over.

Coming ashore, Denise puts on her clothes and walks over to her husband. The facilities in the background belong to the Port La Galère at Théoule-sur-Mer advises Manuel Gurtner.

Colby begins to argue with Denise before the two get into the téléphérique.

Returning to England, Colby and Denise arrive at their apartment overlooking the Thames. Looking towards the Houses of Parliament from above Albert Embankment in SE1 with Lambeth Bridge crossing the River Thames in the foreground.

Following another outburst, Colby is persuaded to see Dr. Prade at his London clinic. Denise The corner of Harley Street and Weymouth Street in W1.

The camera moves past the entrance to number 90 Harley Street.

Not quite as grubby now, but in need of attention. (PW)

Inside the building, Colby begins his treatment. The first floor windows of 92 Harley Street W1.

Denise watches Colby as he takes to the racetrack again. Richard Winchester advises that the motor circuit scenes were shot at Crystal Palace Park in SE19, a location that also appears in 'The Italian Job', ‘Time Without Pity’ and ‘Soapbox Derby’.

Colby speeds past as Denise checks his lap time. Crystal Palace motor circuit located by Richard Winchester.

After the truth behind Colby's condition in unearthed but his murderous intentions towards Denise remain, Dr. Prade takes him back to the clinic.

A taxi approaches as Colby knocks the Doctor out and attempts to take control of the car. Looking west along Cromwell Road SW7 from the corner of Ashburn Gardens.

The white double porticoed entrance to the Bury House Apartments at 126/128 Cromwell Road on the right confirms the location. The entrance is seen from the other direction in Calling Bulldog Drummond. SJ

Dr. Prade lies unconscious in the driving seat after his Bentley collides with the taxi. Cromwell Road in South Kensington with number 111 at the corner of Ashburn Gardens to the left.

Clear now. SJ

The Taxi Driver looks at the damage while asking for Colby's details. Numbers 115 to 121 Cromwell Road fill the background.

Looking across the street, Colby picks an an address on Cromwell Road. To the left stands the since demolished 116 Cromwell Road in SW7 with the parapet of the railway bridge over London Underground's Gloucester Road Junction on the right. Number 116 was replaced by an access road for the West London Air Terminal and is now the site of a service road for Point West.

As it looks now. SJ

When asked for his name, Colby scans the shop fronts. Part of the frontage of 118 Cromwell Road with 116 to the right.

"Penney, John Penney." Number 116 Cromwell Road in SW7.

Back in the south of France, Colby brings Harry Stonehouse up to date with what has been happening telling him that Denise has disappeared.

Colby picks up an English newspaper as he leaves the Hôtel Méditerranée. Looking out onto the junction of Rue du Port and Boulevard Jean Hibert in Cannes, Alpes-Maritimes.

Walking along the marina, Colby thumbs through the Daily Express for any word about Dr. Prade. Quai Saint-Pierre in Cannes.

Colby takes a seat at a café and orders coffee before throwing the newspaper aside. The café stands on Quai Saint-Pierre.

As he lights a cigarette, Colby spots a Woman that resembles Denise. Quai Saint-Pierre with the Hôtel de Ville beyond Promenade de la Pantiero to the left.

Leaving his drink, Colby dodges through traffic as he runs across the road towards the yacht that the Woman boards when he sees Dr. Prade push away the gangplank. Quai Saint-Pierre in Cannes.

Colby calls Denise's name as the vessel moves away from the quay. Facing numbers 9 to 6 Quai Saint-Pierre.

Running along the quay, Colby keeps up with the yacht. Quai Saint-Pierre in Cannes, Alpes-Maritimes.

When the yacht turns out to sea, Colby stops running. Looking towards Rue du Port in Cannes with Hôtel Méditerranée to the left.

At the private floating jetty harbour near Dr. Prade's villa, Denise throws a rope over as as he moors the yacht. Manuel Gurtner discovered the small calanque below Property 3b on Avenue du Trayas, Théoule-sur-Mer.

Madame Prade (Françoise Rosay) greets Denise when she arrives at the villa. Manuel Gurtner explains that the fact that the grounds of the property are very expansive is not reflected in these scenes as it could only be shot on the patio, so all the interior shots were filmed in Elstree Studios at Borehamwood.

Making his way to the villa, Colby confronts Dr. Prade and Denise. On the opposite side of the small bay in the background, bounded by the Pointe Notre Dame, Manuel Gurtner draws our attention to the whitewashed Villa Neptune adding "It seems that the today's nearby marina of Port de la Figueirette did not exist back then."

Taking a gun from his pocket, Colby demands answers.

After Denise and Alan discover that Dr. Prade has been lying, the psychiatrist makes his escape. Manuel Gurtner explains that "In the background can be seen the facilities at Port La Galère at Théoule-sur-Mer. About 10 years later, the tiny harbour was developed into a real marina including a lighthouse, which completely changed the appearance of the small bay."
