The modern day location shots added to it for me, never a week goes by that I don't enjoy a walk around the harbour then along The Leas, we are very lucky to have such beauty close by. - 27 February 2021 08:32368570Spotted this film set in Dover on one of the obscure movie channels earlier in the week.

Although whizzing through it, there's not a lot of Dover. St Margarets Bay, Folkestone too.
They're showing The Fourth Protocol too, a bit of Dover in that as well. - Keith Sansum1

It's a poor film, poor script, with very guessable plot developments, but crisp black & white exteriors and not all the acting was bad. (I was hoping to see Arthur Lowe with some hair, but I guess he was born without any.) Dover itself (castle, seafront) is used only in the early establishing shots, though there's a brief scene in Dover Priory. Hilarious to see the swimmers dive in at St Margaret's and emerge at (what looks like) Shakespeare beach only to be picnicking moments later at St Margaret's again. Still, the setting's 'Dover' rather than Dover. (Also, the railway sidings next to the speedboat's mooring in Folkestone harbour are actually in Southall.)'Pass the cow dung, my dropsy's killing me' - Heraclitus - Captain Haddock
