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

With no locations in this production, the animated title sequence will have to suffice. Firstly, a view of the Houses of Parliament and Westminster Bridge in SW1.

  • Capture 2
  • 'Now' required

A panning shot begins, passing behind County Hall before what appears to be Somerset House is revealed.

  • Capture 3
  • 'Now' required

Skipping a huge number of riverfront buildings, the pan ends after settling on St. Paul's Cathedral, to the top. But then . . . this is Everytown, not London.
