Object of Beauty, The

Jake and Tina are living beyond their means in an upmarket hotel. St. James' Court, 54 Buckingham Gate SW1.

Still very much upmarket. SJ

Jake (John Malkovich) is seen at an upper window. Desperate for money, he is phoning his bank. St. James' Court.

The scrolling in the frieze helped to nail the window. SJ

Jake and Tina (Andie MacDowell) cross the street. Tina owns a Henry Moore sculpture that they are taking to be valued. 33 Cavendish Square W1

The white column helped here. SJ

Jake and Tina walk to the art dealer's office. Cavendish Square facing north.

The postbox remains on the east side of the square. SJ

As they take a taxi ride, Tina suggests an insurance scam. Belgrave Place SW1 facing southeast from the junction with Eaton Square.

The view today.

Deaf maid Jenny (Rudi Davies) has stolen the sculpture and carries it in a plastic bag. Holborn underground station WC2, ... but this is the disused and highly inaccessible Aldwych branch. (PW/SJ)

Walking by the lake, Tina and Jake accuse each other of removing the statue. The south bank of The Serpentine, looking westwards towards the bridge. Hyde Park W2.

In a different season. SJ

Following the row, Jake walks off. Hyde Park W2 looking north, from the star configuration of paths midway between the Hyde Park Learning Centre and the Joy of Life Fountain.

I think the paths have been reconfigured but this is looking north towards the high rise replacing the Odeon Marble Arch seen in the original and trees obscuring the tops of Park Lane structures on the right. SJ

Jenny's brother Steve (Ricci Harnett) takes the sculpture out to see what he can get for it. Unidentified location.

Frankie (Roger Lloyd-Pack) takes a look at the object and decides he doesn't want it.

Steve wanders to some waste ground to meet his mates.

Steve's friends decide the object is worthless.

The object is discarded on the wasteground, which adjoins a canal, currently unidentified.

Tina leaves the hotel to try and obtain money from her estranged husband. St. James' Court Hotel, 54 Buckingham Gate SW1

An opportunity while no car was dropping off or picking up guests. SJ

Jake walks dejectedly back to the hotel. Westminster Mansions, Great Smith Street SW1, facing north

The view in daylight.

Jake at the junction of Great Smith Street and Great Peter Street SW1.

Now with more white paint since Itsu moved in ten years ago. SJ

Discovering that a reward is on offer, Frankie makes a phone call. 23 Beavor Lane W6.

Today there's much scaffolding and no phone box. The railings on the left border a school playground.

Steve and Jenny search the wasteground for the discarded artwork.

Jake sells his watch but finds he already owes money to the jeweller. The street seen through the window is unidentified.

Jenny on her journey to return the statue. Holborn station.

Changes on the escalator as well as on the platforms. SJ

Jake and Tina celebrate the statue's return. Buckingham Gate SW1.

Renovations to the left mar this shot as we look north-west. SJ

The couple relax on a Sardinian beach. Spiaggia La Celvia, Porto Cervo, Sardinia.
