Default Once Upon A Dream (1949)



Two pictures from a scene in the film 'Once Upon A Dream' (1949) starring Googie Withers and Griffith Jones.

Does anyone know where this lovely cottage is located?

The film was made at Pinewood Studios, Iver heath, Buckinghamshire - so maybe this location is also in that area.

Dave.

This picture shows more of the approach to the bridge.

Dave,

Take a look at "Reach For the Sky" near the very end of the film when Douglas Bader returns home. He goes to the very same house! I'll see if I can post a screen grab later.

Thanks Sonny.

An identical screen grab. Seems they must have used some of the same footage for both films.
I also received a PM from Rob Compton and he believes the same house was also used in the film 'First Of The Few'.

I'm not surprised, it's a beautiful setting.
Now - where is it located???

Dave.

Wish I knew!......I guess it's a lane in Buckinghamshire/Berkshire, being on the Doorstep of Denham, Pinewood, Slough, etc;......I think, having just watched it on ITV4 a few weeks ago, this Cottage was used for an episode of UFO where Ed Straker's ex-Wife lived with her new partner (Philip Madoc)
In the Storyline, unfortunately Ed Straker's Son runs out into the Road outside their Cottage, is knocked down and later dies in Hospital

The UFO location (A Question Of Priorities) was Martyn Cottage, Ley Hill just outside Chesham but I don't think it's the same one.

As I live near Ley Hill I can say for certain that it's not Marlyn (not Martyn) Cottage. Given The First of the Few connection, I wonder if it might be Leslie Howard's former home, recently for sale? Just a thought. Here's a link which shows the house as it is now

I stand corrected!.......though I'm sure I've seen Marlyn Cottage in other TV productions?.......Programmes like 'The Saint', and 'The Avengers' come to mind.

The bus in the picture belongs to either Maidstone and District or Aldershot and District. They both used the same kind of scroll lettering and oval type logo just visible on it's side. Was Buckley a real place in these parts?

There is a Buckley situated near Rochdale in Lancashire.

That is probably the area that the bus originally came from.
