Default Unanswered: Film Id? Set in London. Scene on Houseboat.
Can't remember much.

Late 60s/Early 70s. Probably set in London. Think it was a thriller. Has a
scene on a houseboat (possibly near the end). And a lot of cars in a big
green field at some stage - some sort of festival?

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Crossplot with Roger Moore? Roger's bird hides out in a houseboat and there's a scene at a horse racing event.

Only other film I can think of with a houseboat scene is "Otley" with Tom Courtenay made in 1968.
Ah Yes, the Soviet Union. All them wheatfields and ballet in the evenings

CROSSPLOT ends up at some state event in a field, with horse artillery ready to fire a gun salute which will be used to mask the shooting of a visiting African dignitary. The gun is concealed in the false lens of a TV camera, if that helps ring any further bells...

"Chance Meeting" 1960 with Hardy Kruger and Stanley Baker takes place in a houseboat - can't place a scene with the cars though.

Thanks Bats, "Night & The City" was the film I meant. (Wrong of course, but at least I tried Ha,ha,).

Night & the City does indeed end up by the Thames, but I don't think there's a houseboat involved, and certainly no cars in a field.
