    Man Hunt (1941) with its interesting take on the London Underground and Lured (1947) which has a grand British cast including George Sanders, Boris Karloff, Cedric Hardwicke, Alan Mowbray, George Zucco, Robert Coote, Alan Napier and an uncredited roll which I will not bore you with, but was filmed in Hollywood.

    Several sequences in Flesh and Fantasy (1943) purport to be set in London, including a scene on Tower Bridge, but in fact it's just the backlot sets at Universal frequently seen in the Basil Rathbone-Nigel Bruce Sherlock Holmes series.

    The first two Holmes films for them were made at 20th Century-Fox and indeed the London scenes were all shot at the Fox studios in Hollywood.

    To complete a Doris Day Hollywood England hat trick -

    Do Not Disturb

    One thing that struck me about Hitchcock's Man Who Knew Too Much remake - he actually went to the trouble of bringing two of Hollywood's biggest stars to London to film them on everyday street corners in the North and South of the city.

    I believe the interior scenes of Childie and George's flat were.

    The very first Prime suspect was filmed in Manchester posing as London, I was involved mocking up a Routemaster bus with diferent route blinds front and back and a different registration on the back to make it look like 2 different buses.

    Horrible. I normally love DD's films but I found the stupidity of the setting just too annoying for words. Is this the worst ever representation of modern England on film?

    How about the List of Adrian Messenger ? Haven't seen it for a while, but seem to remember it being a bit Hollywood with some scenes shot on location in Ireland.

    A Notorious Affair (1930) is mainly set in London, but it was filmed at First National (Warner Bros.) Studios in Burbank.

    Rocket to the Moon (1967) has many London scenes, but the film was made in Ireland.

    And similarly I believe, having watched it last night, The Face of Fu Manchu.

    This Above All (1942) is set in 1940 England and towards the end of the film, we find Tyrone Power staggering through the London blitz and Joan Fontaine waiting for him at Charing Cross Station - all filmed at 20th Century-Fox Studios in California.

    What about recently? A lot of films like From Hell, the Omen Remake, League of Xtraordinary Gentlemen,Shanghai Knights film in Prague, any more? I am doing a project on this. On another thread, there is a list of detective shows such as Columbo and Hart to Hart, Murder She Wrote, McCloud, Ironside. The Six Million Dollar man also did one in Ireland, or a thinly-disguised NI. Did the Invisible Man witth McCallum do one? Any pictures or videos of the sets would be welcome.

    It's a nice set, but far too large, and the train is based on (if not actually a direct mock-up of) New York subway stock. The BBC's 1976 version of Rogue Male gets it right with using almost the exact location, although it does simplify Geoffrey Household's novel.

    Irland has doubled a lot for England over the years. Lately for period films and TV shows but it also allowed the likes of Noel Coward to appear in The Italian Job and keep his tax exile status. Burton did the same to keep his "tax days" down in The Spy Who Came In From The Cold. While we are in the Emerald isle a mention for Kilmainham Jail in Dublin which with its long central iron staircase has filled in for many a British prison over the years like The Italian Job, The Macintosh Man, In The Name Of Our Fathers and others.

    I think Dublin was used to depict London in such films as Sherlock Holmes and the Deadly Necklace (1962) and The Face of Fu Manchu (1965), both starring Christopher Lee.
