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
Jim Prentiss (Kenneth Hyde) arrives at the home of Eleanor Parton. Only two locations appear in this 'B' feature, and this, we presume, is somewhere in London.
- Capture 2
- 'Now' required
Inside the house, Eleanor outlines her plan to steal a £12,000 pair of earrings from Nina Revere.
- Capture 3
- 'Now' required
On the road to Hartley Manor with his fiancée Anna Hastings (Patricia Owens), DuCane (John Bentley) brings his car to a halt as they near their destination.
- Capture 4
- 'Now' required
DuCane puts the Triumph Roadster into gear and continues towards the manor where he hopes to surprise his half-brother John Hartley. Having moved into the countryside, the second location features a house which remains annoyingly hidden beyond the trees.
