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.

Dave provides this Google Earth View from 2008 and the comparative shot, when it comes, will show the changes wrung by developers. (RL)

Waiting with a bottle of champagne, Lucille and Benson (Dennis Price) wave at Simon as he looks from the solicitor’s window following the reading of Henry’s will. Probably best described as opposite 70-71 Princes Square, London W2 says Dave. (RL)

Even better described as near opposite The Prince Edward hostelry, from an upper window of which the camera may well have been positioned. SJ
