So Evil My Love

Following a prologue where widow Olivia and debonair Mark Bellis meet up on a sea voyage, the scene shifts to London. St. Luke's Church, Chelsea, London SW3, also seen in 'The Idol' and '101 Dalmatians'.

Paul Lincoln couldn't miss a chance to 'pop down' to Chelsea. Have there been some architectural changes or is it the light, or perhaps the camera? (RL)

Olivia has inherited a lodging house in the film's Minton Street. A matte shot shows Upper Cheyne Row, SW3, looking northeast.

Paul didn't have the technological wizardry to include any matt in his shot. He took it as it is. (RL)

Olivia lets a room to Mark (Ray Milland) who has traced her address. Facing west from the junction of Upper Cheyne Row and Glebe Place, a junction also seen in 'The Fake'.

Paul didn't have the luxury of height but recorded the location as it is now. Spot the mended railing amongst other changes. (RL)

Mark dodges a copper in the street on his way to meet his girlfriend Kitty. The RHS is quite a good match for Cheyne Row looking south from the junction, so this could be another matte shot. Paul Lincoln visited the spot and took a shot but whilst there are similarities the capture railings do not suggest that there are steps up to the front door and whilst they could have been removed, there are no spiked dividing railings on the first floor balcony's. The matter (no pun intended) remains open. But not for long, Dave W found Chester Place, London NW1 looking north with those spiked balcony railings. (RL)

Chester Place as it is to the right of Capture 7 and to the left in Capture 5, Dave found it all as it should be, perhaps even better. (RL)

A view from the rooftop as Mark attempts a daring heist. Having identified Capture 7 it didn't take Dave W long to realise that the camera must be using No 4 Cumberland Place to look down on events with the entrance to No 1 on the right. (RL)

Needless to say Dave was not affored the luxury of a higher viewpoint, but the lad did well. (RL)

Things go wrong and Mark and his partner-in-crime Edgar (Raymond Lovell) head for the removal van they have taken. The still extant railings and lamp-overthrows remain outside No 1 Cumberland Place, London NW1 found by Dave W. (RL)

This is where the action took place and Dave, true to his word, returned to the scene to provide this much improved comparative shot. The trip was worth it Dave, thanks. (RL)

Shots are fired and the horses bolt. Dave W's ever attentive eyes were rewarded when he momentarily passed by Chester Place, London NW1, here looking north. (RL)

Dave only found peace and tranquility during his visit. (RL)

The pair jump off to make a run for it. Following the events in the previous capture Dave sees events on the corner of Chester Place and Cumberland Place with No 1 Cumberland Place in the background. (RL)

The perfect comparison shot from Dave. (RL)

A copper is on the chase, along Cumberland Place approaching the corner identified by Dave in the previous capture. (RL)

Dave realised that there is never a policeman there when you want one. (RL)

The pair flee down the street. With a map of the time Dave W found Chester Place with the pair fleeing down Chester Terrace Mews as was, but redevelopment would now have them more Chester Close North. (RL)

Despite changes Dave knew where he needed to be. (RL)

Needing money, Olivia (Ann Todd) visits her wealthy former schoolfriend Susan. The gates of Denham Place, Denham, Buckinghamshire. The gates are located on Denham Avenue, just south of the River Misbourne crossing.

Antony Blair returned to the location 76 years later to find that the ivy has since been removed and discovered that the motto above the gates reads "TOUS JOURS VERD" . . . which is now a bit of a contradiction!

Staying as a guest, Olivia starts to steal items from the large house. Richard Lovejoy found Denham Place, Denham, Buckinghamshire. Also seen in 'Talk About Jacqueline' and 'You Can't Escape'.

When Mark suggests blackmailing the Courtneys, Olivia rushes off. Upper Cheyne Row looking west.

Paul returned to Chelsea to capture the shot he overlooked on his previous visit. We have all done that and will for certain do it again! (RL)

At his offices Susan's husband agrees to employ Olivia as his wife's live-in companion. Lincoln's Inn WC2.

The tower is hidden behind the greenery. SJ

As she departs she nods at Mark. Lincoln's' Inn Old Square WC2.

The lamp has moved up towards the Old Square sign. No8 Old Square is also seen in Home to Danger and Eight O'Clock Walk. SJ

Mark, who is standing nearby, walks away. Lincoln's' Inn Old Square.

The north-west corner of Old Hall. SJ

Olivia visits Mark, and agrees to blackmail the Courtneys. Upper Cheyne Row.

Paul found that there is a substaial increase in horsepower there now. (RL)

Olivia leaves Henry's office after issuing the terms of the blackmail. Old Square WC2.

The growth does its best to obscure a meaningful comparison, so I compromised on the angle. SJ

Olivia rides away in a carriage. Old Square.

Much greener now with Old Hall seen in capture 16 to the extreme left. SJ

Mark waits for Olivia at the station for the train to Paris. She tells him that the plan has gone wrong, resulting in Henry's death, and Mark tells her to wait in London to handle the fallout.

In Paris, Mark waits for news.

Susan Courtney (Geraldine Fitzgerald) leaves the coroner's hearing at her house accused of murdering her husband. Denham Place, found by Richard Lovejoy.

Olivia watches as Susan is escorted from the courtroom and taken away by carriage. Denham Place, found by RL.

Mark waits by Westminster Abbey for Olivia, intending to run off with her, but she has found out about his two-timing.

Olivia turns herself in at the Police Station. This looks like a set.
