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.

Pretty village with a pub sign. John Morgan identifies the "pretty village" as Milton Bryan, Bedfordshire with the Red Lion PH on the right.
Antony Blair paid a visit to the location 54 years after filming took place.

Lawson emerges from our old favourite, the Edgwarebury Hotel on Edgwarebury Lane, Elstree in Hertfordshire.
I do have a better angled albeit car-jammed 2024 update, but this is worth retaining as the sphinxes are still there (see cap08). SJ

Eddington and Lawson await Greene.
This replaces my wrong angle from March '12 showing the approach from the drive and rather a busy car park. SJ

The gatehouse to High Canons on Buckettsland Lane, Herts.

Greene, crouching down, watches Gray and Mower emerge from High Canons, Herts. This is down a long drive and so can't be seen from Buckettsland Lane.

Mower and Gray at High Canons. The location was seen in 'Murder on the Orient Express', 'The Satanic Rites of Dracula', 'To the Devil a Daughter' and 'The Boys in Blue'.

Lee and Greene arrive back at Edgwarebury. The popular filming location also appears in ‘School for Scoundrels’, ‘Spider’s Web’, ‘Sons of the Sea’, ‘Never Too Young to Rock’, ‘Stardust’, 'Sons of the Sea', ‘The Rough and the Smooth’, ‘Endless Night’, ‘Stranger from Venus’, ‘My Lover My Son’, 'The Liquidator’, ‘Not Now Comrade’, ‘So Evil, So Young’, ‘Mosquito Squadron’ and ‘Night Must Fall’.
Another angle improvement to replace my March '12 effort and this now shows that the sphinxes have been removed. Apparently there were put in storage a few years ago and have since disappeared. SJ
