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.

Same building to left, same tree to the right. This is looking up the west side. SJ

Welles and Reed on a rooftop and I've seen that church before...probably taken from a block of flats on the corner of Thayer Street and George Street, suggests Greg Mishevski.

Roman Catholic Church of St. James, Spanish Place, 22 George Street, Marylebone, W1U 3QY. Looking west/northwest. This replaces Greg's GEV from July '11. SJ

Reed arrives at the family home he shares with Craig. I'd say Montrose Place, SW1.
The modern block has been rebuilt. It is indeed Montrose Place, also seen in "The Saint." SJ

Blenheim Crescent, London W11: thanks to Alan F, one of many experts at Britmovie.co.uk, for this identification.

Reed visits Craig at her school: that sign is tantalising.

St Alban's Grove, W8, Roland-Francoise Lack states, "If you go up along the street beyond the trees you can see the more modern looking building with wide windows, and if you turn around there's the building that was a restaurant and is still so". And there is still a sign! ... This replaces the proving Google shot of April 2011, but the modern building is still obscured even in winter. The sign says RIchmond University: and is called Atlantic House, a hall of residence for American students. SJ

Same place, a restaurant in the background.

St Alban's Grove, the other way. RF Lack found this one as well. Restaurant still there... And this is also a Google replacement. SJ

Definitely the fountain in the centre of the quadrangle in Trinity, called Great Court, the same as the Great Court Run, to be run in under 43 seconds while the clock chimes 12, seen in Chariots of Fire but filmed at Eton.
Now. SJ

Cambridge has never looked prettier...and this is not Trinity as above but the view from the gatehouse of King's College with thanks to Brian Dockerill.

The Car crash. Looks like the city. Located by Roland-François Lack who provided a comparative Streetview shot back in 2011 but Dave W provides us with the location in 2022, Dukes Place / Bevis Marks and Creechurch Lane EC3. (RL)

Replacing the Streetview shot, the junction is still very recognisable. SJ
