Jacques Tati, is the titular #MonOncle from 1958. Mostly filmed in Val de Marnes on the outskirts of Paris. Pretty unrecognisable overall, it was still in quite a state in '58: 13 years post war maybe shows? This is the opening shot. Rue de la Procession.

Bigger trees, not much else has changed. Rue Juliette Savars, Créteil, Île-de-France in Agnes Varda's #LeBonheur. (1965) Recent picture from 2023.

From "The Offence" (1973), Bracknell. Sean Connery loses it as a burnt out cop. He's seen too much. If only he knew what they'd end up doing to Bracknell... Loads of scenes in town can't be traced as they pretty much demolished it all. Here, some trees have grown...

Just one shot this time, it was difficult tracking down modern locations (even other scenes in this area were too hard). From 1965's #TimeToLove, a Turkish classic. Filmed in Istanbul's Prince's Islands, not much change here, apart from the foreground awning. And visitor numbers.

In-theater slide of the nickelodeon era.

From 1955 and also, crucially, from Brighton (my home town) #CastADarkShadow with Dirk Bogarde.
This shot is from the bandstand, which was derelict for a while but has been restored. You can see Embassy Court (far left) and the Ramada (now Mercure) Hotel, both Listed Buildings

'Saturday Night and Sunday Morning', 1960. Set and mostly filmed in Nottingham. #AlbertFinney just got on the bus going down the hill. This is Derby Road, with #StBarnabasCathedral spire seen above the shops on the right. A few newer buildings, but overall, not so different.

1976, #MonsieurKlein - Alain Delon boards a bus to an uncertain fate during the round up of Parisian Jews. The film is closer in time to the events than it is to today.

This is located at Place Lucien Herr, in Paris. As ever, losing road for trees improves things hugely.

1956's #TheLongArm aka #TheThirdKey. Robbery about to take place in the Blackwall Shipping Company on Crisp Road.
Today, there's no room for the truck. Bikes and trees have taken over, and it looks great. The warehouse on the right has gone, but the building on the left remains.

Gavino Ledda's #PadrePadrone, 1977, one of "100 films to be saved" as decreed by the Ministry of Cultural Heritage. Here, Gavino's dad approaches him on Via Roma, Cargeghe, Sardinia. Same location in 2024. A few features link the locations but so much has changed. More in next posts replying to this

The oldest one yet I think. #TheLavenderHillMob from 1951, you see much of post war London under reconstruction at various points, but here's the view looking north east up Queen Victoria Street, near St Paul's Cathedral in 1951, and later in 2021.

From 1901, a really early filmset in Hove, UK: "Fire". Static camera work, so no real choice about which frame gives the best view, but here is Hove Fire Station at 85 George Street, and unrecognisable today as Georgie's Cafe. Note "Floreat Hova" on the gable.

The Lonely Passion of Miss Judith Hearne, with the recently passed #MaggieSmith, and #BobHoskins, walking through #BlessingtonPark in #Dublin. St Joseph's Churcjh visible behind them. FIlm from 1987, StreetView from 2022.

Can't get quite the same view, as they are on the Thames mud at low tide, but here Dirk Bogarde and Julie Christie in 1965's "Darling" head towards some buildings that are now (2nd picture) the Bull's Head.

Jackdaw Inn, in Denton. First image from #TheBattleOfBritain (1969). Not much change but it's a pity the sign above the name has gone. The one on the wall looks the same but updated. Think I prefer the new paint job on the windows.

I match street scenes from an old film to the present day on Streetview. This one is from #Priest (1994) so not as old as I'd like. They've still got the red windows, but it's clearly just easier to have a regular black drainpipe. Wonder if they know their house was in a film.
