Unlike the dull 1950s remake, the third version wisely
jettisons Hitchcock
and returns to John Buchanís original story.
Richard Hannayís (Robert Powell) flat is now Albert
Court, alongside the Albert Hall, Kensington,
SW7.
The killing of Scudder (Mills) takes place at Marylebone
Station. Marylebone is not only picturesque,
but generally a quiet station, and so quite popular
for filming. The Beatles departed from – and then
arrived at – Marylebone Station under the opening
credits of their first feature film A
Hard Day's Night. And when Julie Christie
left Bradford for Lonond at the end of Billy
Liar, she left from –erm – London's
Marylebone.
The railway scenes were filmed on the
Severn Valley Railway, and instead of the
Forth Bridge, we get the Victoria
Bridge over the Severn at Arley.
The Scottish locations include: the moors at Mitchellslacks;
Morton Castle,
a ruin near Thornhill; the village of Durisdeer;
the Forest of Ae;
and the Drumlanrig Estate.
For the movieís climax, Hannay famously dangles from
a mock-up of Big Benís clockface.

Forget
this overanimated nonsense. Go back to the 1963 original
The Haunting, with Julie
Harris and Claire
Bloom. Black and white, low ker and ten times as scary. |
