You Made Me Love You

At a busy crossroads, a Policeman on point duty brings vehicles to a halt. Looking east along Marylebone Road towards the junction with Baker Street in NW1 with Berkeley Court on the left. Beyond Marylebone Circus stands Chiltern Court and the entrance to Baker Street station whilst to the top left of centre St. Marylebone Parish Church is visible. The background junction is also seen in 'The Strange Case of the End of Civilization as We Know It' and 'The White Bus'.

The Officer continues to hold up the traffic as Tom Daly and Pamela Berne’s hands touch whilst they wait in their cars.

Smitten by the unknown woman, the composer begins to make up a song as he searches for her. Facing east on Marylebone Road NW1 with Berkeley Court at the corner of Glentworth Street in the left background.

From the safety of the pavement for this one. (PW)

Tom sounds his horn to the beat of the tune. Old Marylebone Road NW1 with the corner of Chapel Street on the left and the now named Bradbury House on Cosway Street to the top left. Since 1940, London Transport’s Griffith House has obscured the background view.

In 1976 I had a job interview at Griffith House. (PW)

The search continues to no avail. Dave W's search was to avail and he tells us that this is outside 93 Praed Street, London W2 looking south-west. The junction with Norfolk Place is remarkably unchanged since 1933, including the still present Fountain Abbey corner pub. (RL)

Having found his dream girl at her family’s country house when his car breaks down, her grateful Father agrees that he can marry Pamela. The shot tilts down the tower of St. John’s church in Stanmore, Middlesex.
