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.

Establishing shot of New Scotland Yard in its second incarnation, London SW1.
The policeman on duty confirmed that this was the entrance in the film, I was in no position to argue! RL

Portman and Redd outside the same place as 001. One can tell I'm a bit stuck for outside locations.

Reed and Gynt outside a theatre. Good clue in Sid Field. He was appearing in Piccadilly Hayride at the Prince of Wales Theatre, Coventry Street, London W1.
Could which be the "Golden Age of Musicals"? RL

Another establishing shot in London. And, er, that's it really, but a nifty film with a twist.
Aldwych House WC2. It's opposite the northern end of Melbourne Place. Thanks to Ian Hedgcock who provides the now. (SJ)
