Well.............this is how SHOULD be done! And from a guy who lives in Macedonia!!! John 1. Unfortunately, I have never lived in United Kingdom (not in a single day). Because of that fact, I always choose interesting pictures from a special street scene of the particular film, and pictures which offer many clues. For instance, name of the shop, sign of the road, can be of great

Well, our fame is spreading, recent picture arrived from Montevideo, Uruguay; copyright El Pais, the national newspaper; about a film made in 1982, all in, and around, the streets of this wonderful South American capital city. The pic shows a Citroen 2CV being shoved out of shot by actors and crew attempting a scene, in period costume during the making of the film "Mataron a Venancio Flores". Do

The location of the two stills qtm013a and qtm013b is Thoor Ballylee in Ballylee, Gort, Co. Galway. The tower is also known as Yeats' Tower as the poet WB Yeats lived there in the early 20th Century. I have no idea why this scene, and only this scene, was filmed in Galway, the tower is quite a long way from Cong. The man in the first photograph is my grandfather, Martin Glynn and he is soaking

Hi JohnThe pix of The One That Got Away are much better than mine which leads me to ask, in curiosity, did you find a copy of the movie and grab them yourself?..............yes. I've plugged in the VHS recorder to the computer, on which I have a very old copy of Pinnacle, a TV playing programme with a "frame grabbing" ability. But many of the free phoo/video enhancement/editing progs have a frame

Some of the film KES was shot in our house in Burton Road, Barnsley, this is/was on the outskirts of Barnsley on the road to Cudworth. How do I know? My mother Helga Reynolds, was the then secretary of the Yorkshire branch of Equity (I still have headed paper to prove this) and she was an actress and also a professional musician. There is a rumour that the baby in the pram (in the pub scene) is

Hi JohnJust found a very, very bad copy of Doctor In The House, and decided to view it once more before I toss it out..............yes, bad it is, so the still grab you sent is no good for our site I'm afraid.As I got to the chase in the movie between University students, I suddenly realized that the attached shot of St Johns Street, was not only of the old Northampton Poly, but of the church

HelloThis is in connection with information on the 'reelstreets.com' website with information about old films.On your list "Guilt Is My Shadow/1950/Patrick Holt/Cornwall" - Cornwall is wrong. It was filmed in Ashburton, Devon. I was searching for this film as my 74 year old neighbour who grew up in Ashburton just told me that he, as a 14 year old, is in one of the scenes coming out of a bakery

Midhurst has once again been chosen as a film set - it was last used in 2006 by Greenlit for Foyle's War Series 5 - and it subs for Hastings.Please take any pics or copy which appeals.www.violetdesigns.co.uk/foyles_war_series7.htmI think this really is the last series.

Discovered an interesting film in my collection. "Sabotage Agent" 1942, I think, with Robert Donat, Valerie Hobson and a very young Glynis Johns. What I found interesting is that it opens at the end of a blitz raid on a hospital. They actually used the St Thomas Hospital site, SE1 (Genevieve and Night and the City),opposite the Houses of Parliament. I reckon they could not have cleared away all

I know this is a bit of a long shot but I was wondering if you could help me track down a copy of an Italian fim called Un Giorno Nella Vita directed by Alessandro Blasetti and released in 1946. My late father took part in this film (presumably as an extra) when he was in the British army in Rome at the end of the war. He is prominent in some of the publicity stills which I have. Do you know of

Hello John, Just joined Reelstreets, its a brilliant site, have had great fun looking through the stills especially of Bloomsbury and many other areas in London that I know. I was brought up in Bloomsbury and upon looking at Pt002, Ptoo29, Ptoo2an and Ptoo2b from the Film Peeping Tom, these stills are listed as Rathbone Street and Percy Street in Bloomsbury.
