[Davoo]

Hi - I live just a couple of miles from Brighton & watched them filming 'Mona Lisa', 'Under Suspicion' , 'Redemption Road', 'Dirty Weekend' & 'Circus'. There must of been hundreds of films shot here, here are some more which haven't been mentioned:



On a Clear Day You Can See Forever

Villain

Richard III (1995)

And When Did You Last See Your Father

Cassandras Dream

Redemption Road

London to Brighton

Loot

Angus Thongs & Perfect Snogging - (0nly a few scenes.)

Thirteen at Dinner



When I think of some more I'll post them.

I seem to remember quite a few years ago now, that a BBC personality, I think, Michael Aspel/Richard Baker, remarked that Brighton was used as a location for Barbra Streisand's movie "On A Clear Day You Can See Forever" (1969?)



Unfortunately, I don't have any further info/confirmation about this remark!

The Brighton Pavilion is extensively used in a flashback sequence. Streisand's character is hypnotised in an attempt to stop smoking and she regresses into a former life where whe's the daughter of Irene Handl (!) and Roy Kinnear is the Prince Regent (!!).

Barbra Streisand daughter of Irene Handl-wow, what a picture! I still remember Irene Handl as Sherlock Holmes's housekeeper & being described as "not entertaining" by Sherlock! ah,well!

The Adventures of Jane (1949) has scenes shot at Brighton Station, Rottingdean and Devil's Dyke (a car-chase sequence!). It also feature footage of the old Gaiety cinema (later the Vogue), although bizarrely recast as a variety theatre in which Jane "performs" before arriving in Brighton. As far as I can recall, this is the only instance of a Brighton cinema appearing in a Brighton-based film apart from the fleeting glimpse of the ABC seen in Quadrophenia - where Warren Beatty's Heaven Can Wait (1978) apparently had its world premiere on a bank holiday in 1964....
