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.

Baddeley visits Auer's boarding place. I wonder if these still stand. JT suggests Islington. No, regrettably they do not, Christopher Matheson has located the "Ritz Plaza Guest House" at 15 Westbourne Park Crescent, London W2 that was swallowed up in re-development. (RL)

This probably still does on a suburban common... Whitestone Pond, West Heath Road in Hampstead, identified by the Brit movies forum.
A bit of guesswork: I think the long gone fountain stood about here on the corner of Lower Terrace looking across West Heath Road, NW3. SJ

This is a reverse pov form Auer's guesthouse. With thanks to Christopher Matheson for placing this as Westbourne Park Crescent at the junction with Westbury Road, London W2 as was. LMA Collage 97696 shows the junction and the property on the far back right hand side. (RL)
