The Town Hall now hides behind trees. (PW)

Is it or isn't it the same building? Rebuilding is highlighted by the newer brickwork to the right. (PW)

In Jo's story, her father is Roger Gaunt, an embezzler who is having an affair with his secretary.

The same property on Amersham Road, Beaconsfield. (PW)

The novel continues with Uncle Willie (Lionel Jeffries) playing table tennis with Blanche as her parents and Aunt Una enjoy the afternoon.

Also seen in 'Devils of Darkness', 'Bugsy Malone', 'From Russia with Love', 'The Hellfire Club', 'Games That Lovers Play', 'The Primitives' and 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang'.

The trappings of a modern world now grace the location. (PW)

Blanche is driven to London to become a prostitute as Jo's parents finish reading Naked Revolt. Although the A40 does run to London from Beaconsfield, this may not be the actual road.

After watching his latest play in London, Robert drives Jo to the river. This appears to be Chelsea Embankment SW3.

At the end of the film when everything is put right, Dr. Henry Manners (Leslie Phillips) and Gladys are shocked when Jo announces her thoughts for a new novel. This looks very much like the back of the property on Amersham Road, Beaconsfield.
