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.

Now in the south west corner of the square near the crossing seen in Children of the Damned, The Notorious Landlady, A Game for Vultures. A slight backdrop suspicion here.

He makes his way across the rest of the road and, apart from some establishment shots at the beginning, that's it for exterior locations in this film which betrays its stage origins.
And this would be following the same line of the camera. Really rather different though the entrance to the Millennium Hotel Mayfair (also seen above) is reasonably encouraging. SJ
