Millionairess, The

A Rolls Royce comes to a halt on London Bridge before a Butler (Graham Stark) gets out to open the door for millionairess Epifania Ognissanti di Parerga. London Bridge EC4, looking downstream towards Tower Bridge.

Looking east from the new London Bridge which opened in 1973. SJ

Standing close to the bridge parapet, Epifania Ognissanti di Parerga (Sophia Loren) hands over her gun to the Butler. The view from London Bridge towards SE1 with New Hibernia Wharf, Pickfords Wharf, Winchester Wharf and Cannon Street railway bridge crossing the background.

The view now from Peter.

Helped onto the parapet by her Butler, Epifania jumps into the river. The King's Reach of the River Thames below London Bridge.

Beneath the new London Bridge, now that the old one is in Lake Havasu, Arizona. SJ.

An update shows that the "new" bridge remains. SJ

Dr. Ahmed el Kabir (Peter Sellers) rows past and greets Epifania with "Good morning. Beautiful day for a swim." before she explains that she's committing suicide.

I'm not so sure the water here is particularly tempting. SJ

Continuing his journey across the river, Dr. El Kabir reaches the Patients waiting outside his small practice at Elstree Studios in Borehamwood.

As she walks through a riverside market with Dr. Adrian Bland (Dennis Price), Tubby Isaacs (Wally Patch) offers Epifania a bowl of whelks. Looking across the Thames from Swan Wharf EC4 towards Southwark SE1 with Pickfords Wharf, Winchester Wharf and Cannon Street railway bridge as the background.

Now. SJ.

A red crane promises further changes. SJ

The psychiatrist tells his patient that there is something wrong with her sense of values. Behind the warehouses and wharves to the top left runs Clink Street.

Now. SJ.

Not much changed since 2008. SJ

When Epifania dashes off, Dr. Bland does his best to keep up with her. Looking across the Thames from Swan Wharf towards Southwark.

For a wider view, looking towards the south bank from London Bridge.

Pickford's Wharf is clearly advertised. SJ

The Doctor pushes past a Man Carrying a Crate (Roy Kinnear). Swan Wharf, now named Oystergate Walk.

Now. SJ.

This update focusses on the structures still remaining near where the Old Swan Pier was. SJ

Catching up, Dr. Bland tells his patient that she has done nothing during their sessions but go on about her money and her father. On the south bank of the River Thames stands Hibernia Wharf with St. Mary Ottery's Dock and Pickfords Wharf to the right.

From the north bank with a clear view of Southwark Cathedral. SJ

Epifania explains to the Doctor that she has nothing else in her life. Looking across the River Thames from the vicinity of Fishmongers' Hall Wharf and Swan Wharf with London Bridge to the left. The wharf also appears in 'King of Thieves' and 'Escape Route'.

With Southwark Cathedral visible now. SJ.

Sweeping along from in front of Fishmongers Hall on Swan Wharf. SJ

Getting angry with him after he insults her father, Epifania prepares to throw Dr. Bland over her shoulder and into the river. Swan Wharf EC4.

A slightly wider shot of the area as London Bridge meets Fishmongers' Hall.

Spotting Dr. El Kabir walking through the market, Epifania calls out to him as she rubs her arm. Looking towards Fishmongers' Hall Wharf EC4 with London Bridge crossing the Thames in the background.

Now. SJ.

The new bridge lacks a certain majesty. I reckon Robert P. McCulloch got a bargain whether or not the old story that he thought he was buying Tower Bridge is true. SJ

"Good afternoon, I am a Doctor." The River Thames between London Bridge and Cannon Street railway bridge with St. Mary Ottery's Dock, Pickfords Wharf and Winchester Wharf on the far bank.

Now. SJ.

And a final shot from Swan Wharf looking south-west. SJ

Whilst trying to win the affections of Dr. El Kabir, Epifania plans to build a new clinic.

When the clinic fails to attract Dr. El Kabir's patients, Epifania makes her way to find work to fulfil a concocted promise made by the Doctor to his mother that any prospective bride must be able earn her own living for three months.
