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.

van Doorn on Chelsea Bridge Road, SW3.

Rather a grim sight on a rainy day. But the railings are protected by the hoarding so we await the completion of the former barracks' site. Also seen in The Jokers. SJ

Same everything bar pigeons and actress. SJ

Sims arrives from Denyer street onto Milner Street, SW3.

She must have got lost. See notnod005n. SJ

Phillips at Coutts and Co, Park Lane branch, W1, opened in 1921 but since closed.

Building still stands. SJ

A more revealing shot. A quick email to Tracey Earl, the archivist of Coutts & Co., elicited this response with our thanks, "The Coutts branch was closed in 2000 and the address was 1 Old Park Lane, now the site of the Hard Rock Café shop."

Nice couple of boxes added, possibly for the tourists. SJ

Cooney arrives at 10 Milner Street, SW3.

Arriving at no10, Milner Street, SW3.

Less impressive motors. SJ

Phillips summons a taxi from Fortnum and Mason, or so an establishment shot would have us believe, Piccadilly W1.

Looks right. SJ

Reverse pov. But shouldn't the Royal Academy, not Qantas be opposite Fortnum and Mason?

The North side of Piccadilly and the junction of Albermale Street at the left of photo. Quantas Airlines Office is now occupied by De Beers. Piccadilly must have been one-way Eastwards or traffic is turning right. Image and information from Peter.

Phillips tears home to Chelwood House, Gloucester Square, W2.
