Film made in Torquay - Britmovie

Nickgas · 11-11-2007, 07:52 PM

My Mum remembers a film being made near Torquay when she was young (which would put it in the 1920s). She remembers it as a classical or biblical theme and the only scene she clearly recalls is a man in a loin cloth proclaiming from a high rock. Not a lot to go on but if anyone can help I'd be very grateful!!

The exterior of the hotel itself was in Bourne End, Buckinghamshire. Other parts were filmed in Harrow, Middx and Cookham, Berks.

I don't think they would have dared go to Torquay itself, especially after the first series had aired

IMDb actually lists a film titled 'Torquay' being made in 1923.

The film covered the sights and attractions in and around Torquay.
Maybe there was some religious content in the film.
