Can you help:
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.

Having found Constance dead in a flat where he went to deliver a letter, Dr Fenton posts the contents of that letter to Belgium. Unknown location and the last before the film concludes in studio sets. Is that gable known to us from other films made at Walton-on-Thames?
