Mike Jordan<\/strong><\/h3>\n\u201cThe Guardian\u201d picture section 23rd<\/sup> October 2020 has this nice picture of filming (you know that bendy plastic stuff that one shines alight through to watch and has nothing to do with SD cards) in Kings Cross including a very Health and Safety camera tower. Presumably access is via the open window!\n

\nGood old days? (perhaps not!)\n\n\n\n

Dave Buckley<\/strong><\/h3>\nFilming of \u201cThe Ladykillers\u201d, where Ealing Studios built a house at the end of Fredrica Street, immediately above the Copenhagen Tunnels just outside Kings Cross station. \n

\nHowever, this location is Argyle Street, opposite St. Pancras station, where the reverse angle shots of the house were taken. I would guess, without seeing film again, that the set-up was for a shot before or after this one. The telephone box is obviously a fake!\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\nThe camera is a three strip Technicolor one,  hence the wide film spool casing. \n

\nThere is a BBC film made about the filming of \u201cThe Ladykillers\u201d called ‘Location Kings Cross’, which went out in the mid-1950s. It’s a shame that whoever now owns the film distribution rights, doesn’t re-issue the film plus the ‘making of’ as an extra. \n
