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.

This studio based musical has just one external location. Looking up at Newcombe House at the corner of Notting Hill Gate and Kensington Church Street in London W11.
Peter made his way over to take this shot.

Newcombe House, the other side of which is seen in ‘Lunch Hour’ and 'West 11'.
The concrete is a bit grubbier in Peter's comparison.

Julie Singleton (Angela Douglas) leaves the Record Company offices where she works. Newcombe Street at the back of Newcombe House.
A more cluttered view by Peter.

The young woman heads for her car. Newcombe Street with the rear of premises on Kensington Church Street forming the background.

Rather forlorn looking now. SJ

A Stranger in dark clothing watches as Billy Bowles (Tommy Steele) approaches the MG Midget. Newcombe Street in Notting Hill with Kensington Place in the distance and the roof over Notting Hill Gate’s sub-surface platforms visible on the extreme top right.

Not particularly obvious a match but there is the roof to the platforms to the right. SJ

As the couple drive away the Stranger follows in his Humber Hawk. Newcombe Street in W11.
The bollard is missing in Peter's modern view.
