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.

Maggie Smith's hotel set on "Daphne Island near Tyrania". The website Silver-Screen-Spain advises that this is Cala d'en Monjo.
Lionel and Cynthia Sear say that this was the best that they could do as they were not actually in charge of the boat's bridge. (RL)

Clay and Birkin arrive.
Looking down from the site of the hotel to an old landing stage on the east side of the cove. We normally blur peoples faces for publication of shots but Lionel and Cynthia have here blurred the whole of the naturists! (RL)

Smith, McDowall, Miles and Mason on the terrace.
Lionel and Cynthia Sear went back to Cala den Monjo where they overlooked on their last visit. To reach this terrace they had, they tell us, a superb walk through the pines with a rise and fall of some 500 feet each way. They will go anywhere, and as we know, risk life and limb for Reelstreets!

Ustinov preparing to leave for the island. Noonday gun on the cliff above. Identified as Cala de Deía by Silver-Screen-Spain.
Cala de Deía is a beautiful cove sitting some 600 feet below Deía where Robert Graves lived and is buried. To make life slightly easier for themselves Lionel and Cynthia travelled by bus for this one.....and then walked, to take this shot looking towards the right hand side of cove. (RL)

Another shot of the location in the previous image. Cala de Deía, Mallorca.
Lionel and Cynthia say that this is looking out to sea from the cove, so how did Lionel know that some of the foreground needed blurring for privacy and decency? (RL)
