The Americanzation of Emily

Hi,

The Americanzation of Emily

Scene with James Garner and Julie Andrews is shot in Finsbury Circus, London EC2.

...............yes, the pics are on the subscriber's part of the site

Scene with James Garner visiting house (owned by Joyce Grenfell and Julie Andrews is, I think, by Alexandra Palace.

...............yes

However, there has always been some confusion as to how much of this film was shot in the UK and how much in America. For example, did Julie Andrews actually film here

.............it looks pretty realistic to me

or are her Finsbury Circus scenes down against a backdrop (unlikely).

..............don't think so

If the scene was done in the UK (interiors done both in Shepperton and at MGM in California) then this would be her only film work from the time shot in her own country.

...............an interesting observation. Thankyou

Do you have any thoughts/details of this?
Richard

..............only those above. But, we'll blog your letter and see if anyone else knows anything

Best wishes,

...........John
