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.

A close up of one of those vast blocks that proliferate in areas like London NW8. A bit too dark for vital clues.
Never too dark for Jules Ballantyne, she found Beverley Court, Wellesley Road, Chiswick in London W4. Replacing the Google Earth shot. (RL)

Montagu Mews North leading off Montagu Place, as above. But the sign behind the railings seems to say Hill, or Hills Place. Trying to fool us, these directors!
