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.

Winslet is depressed over losing Sewell. South Bank, London SE1

Not so much South bank as more Lambeth Palace Road. SJ

Making her way home. A familiar location seen in 'Bachelor of Hearts', 'Reunion at Fairborough', 'The Earth Dies Screaming', 'Edna, the Inebriate Woman', 'Monster of Terror', 'The Wedding Date', 'The Ruling Class', 'A Matter of Life and Death' and many other productions.

Signpost a prop, maybe. Rain has replaced the fake snow. SJ

Diaz arrives at the same spot as the above to picturesque Shere, Surrey, with snow and The White Horse sign.

The horse is rearing the other way now. SJ

And pans right towards St James's Church.

In a different season. SJ

  • Capture 5
  • 30 Oct 2012

Diaz is dumped by the taxi on the corner of Church Hill and Church Lane.

Now. SJ

Winslet's beautiful cottage, alas a set.

The trees are real though. SJ

  • Capture 7
  • 30 Oct 2012

But there's the church spire to find the field the set was built in. Interiors were in LA.

Find this by following a public footpath in a south-east direction from St James's church, turn the first left, and the site is in a private field next to the path. SJ

same as holi008: Black drives into no 1883

imdb tells us it's Orlando Road, San Marino, backed up by Google. SJ

  • Capture 11
  • 'Now' required

Cornwell Manor, Cornwell near Chipping Norton, Oxfordshire. Cynically one imagines this is a second unit shot.

But no. That's Law and Diaz on location.

  • Capture 13
  • 28 Feb 2014

Diaz runs over a snowy bridge.

The old Rectory bridge, off Lime Walk, Shere, Surrey, with a lot more holly now. The bridge leads to the old Rectory. SD
