This year's Oscars ceremony was hosted by Oscar-winner David Niven for Separate Tables. He was the only person to win an Oscar the same year he was a host. It was a momentous year when the eight Oscar record held by Meet Me In St. Louis (1944) .] Gigi remains one of the few films to win all the awards for which it had been nominated (in four or more categories), and is one of only eleven Best Picture winners in the Academy's first 82 years not to receive a single acting nomination.

It was highly unusual that none of the excellent cast, young Parisian ingenue Gigi (Leslie Caron), rich suitor and suave aristocrat Gaston (Louis Jourdan), Gigi's grandmother and ex-Chevalier lover (Hermione Gingold), or Gaston's charming but roguish uncle Honore (Maurice Chevalier), received acting nominations. However, the Frenchman Maurice Chevalier, known for his singing of Thank Heaven For Little Girls, was presented with an Honorary Oscar Award "for his contribution to the world of entertainment for more than half a century." Set in early 1900s Paris - it told the slightly distasteful story by French writer Colette of a young teen-aged Parisienne girl trained by a wealthy aunt at the turn of the century to become a courtesan (in the tradition of her family) to a wealthy suitor or "protector." She double-crossed her family by enchanting her proposed suitor and marrying him instead.

During the time of the smash Broadway hit My Fair Lady (that wouldn't be available for the screen for a number of years (until My Fair Lady (1964) ), the stage hit's composers Alan Jay Lerner and Frederick Loewe and costumer Cecil Beaton were hired by MGM to create a movie musical from the Broadway non-musical Gigi.

The other Best Picture nominees were the following: director Morton DaCosta's commercially-successful Auntie Mame (with six nominations and no wins) - a film based on Patrick Dennis' novel about a flamboyant, eccentric, and zesty Bohemian aunt director Richard Brooks' film adaptation of Tennessee William's play that was severely bowdlerized, Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (with six nominations and no wins) about a greedy struggle for a patriarchal Southern family inheritance director Stanley Kramer's message film The Defiant Ones (with nine nominations and two wins - Best Story and Screenplay, and Best B/W Cinematography) about two escaped Southern prisoners chained together (one black and the other white) Delbert Mann's dramatic telling of Terence Rattigan's stage play Separate Tables (with seven nominations and two wins - Best Actor and Best Supporting Actress) about a group of guests at a British seaside hotel Three of the directors of the Best Picture nominees were also nominated for Best Director - Vincente Minnelli for Gigi, Richard Brooks for Cat on a Hot Tin Roof , and Stanley Kramer for The Defiant Ones .

Minnelli, with his second and last Best Director nomination, won his first Best Director Oscar for Gigi, although he had directed some of the greatest MGM musicals ever made ( Meet Me In St. Louis (1944) , The Pirate (1948), and The Band Wagon (1953)) and other great non-musicals (including Madame Bovary (1949), Father of the Bride (1950) , The Bad and the Beautiful (1952) , Lust for Life (1956), and Some Came Running (1958)). [Minnelli directed the only other Freed musical to win the Best Picture Oscar, An American In Paris (1951) , but he lost the Best Director award to George Stevens for A Place in the Sun (1951) .] The directors of Best Picture nominees Auntie Mame (Morton DaCosta) and Separate Tables (Delbert Mann) were not nominated.

Mark Robson was nominated as director of The Inn of the Sixth Happiness (the film's sole nomination), starring an un-nominated Ingrid Bergman as Gladys Aylward - an English missionary in 1930s China opposite Robert Donat in his last film, and Robert Wise was likewise nominated as Best Director for I Want to Live! (with six nominations and one win - Best Actress) about a prostitute framed for murder and sentenced to die in the gas chamber. The Best Actor category winner was David Niven (with his sole career nomination) in Separate Tables as a lonely, retired, war-braggart - British army Major Pollock in the fascinating character study set in a small English seaside hotel on England's south coast. The award was Niven's first and only Oscar after a twenty-three year-old film career. According to some sources, his performance - at 15 minutes, 38 seconds - was the shortest duration of a performance to win a lead acting Oscar. See also Anthony Hopkins' performance in The Silence of the Lambs (1991) .

The other Best Actor nominees were: Paul Newman (with his first nomination) for his role as athletic, but hobbled and troubled 'homosexual' Brick in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof Spencer Tracy (with his sixth nomination) as an old Cuban fisherman who battles a giant marlin in director John Sturges' The Old Man and the Sea (with three nominations and one win - Best Dramatic Score) the two co-stars of The Defiant Ones (their nominations presumably cancelled each other out) - Tony Curtis (with his sole nomination) as white convict John Jackson - Sidney Poitier (with his first of two career nominations) as black convict Noah Cullen Both were escaped, runaway chain-gang convicts who were shackled together for short-lived freedom and forced to realize they needed to help each other. [Poitier's nomination was the first for an African-American actor in either the Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor categories.] In the Best Actress category, all of the nominees had not yet won an Oscar. There were many nominees who had received multiple unsuccessful nominations in the past.

Susan Hayward had been in the running for a Best Actress Oscar for many years (in 1947, 1949, 1952, and 1955) - so it was fitting that she won for her fifth nominated performance in the bravura drama I Want to Live!, as prostitute/thief Barbara Graham, suspected as a murderess, convicted and sent to the gas chamber in San Quentin prison in 1953 after appeals and a long fight to spare her life.

The others were: Rosalind Russell with her fourth nomination for her title role in Auntie Mame (Russell had three prior nominations (in 1942, 1946 and 1947)), a recreation of her successful Broadway stage role Deborah Kerr with her fifth nomination (following four priors in 1949, 1953, 1956 and 1957) - she was nominated for Separate Tables as a shy, repressed, mousey, mother-dominated spinster named Sybil Railton-Bell who resides in the seaside hotel and still loves the phony David Niven Elizabeth Taylor (with her second of four consecutive nominations) for her role as sex-starved Maggie the Cat (and Paul Newman's wife) in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof [The 1958 death of Taylor's husband Mike Todd in a plane crash was expected to help her chances, but her very-public breakup of Eddie Fisher's marriage to Debbie Reynolds tarnished her public image] first-timer Shirley MacLaine who was nominated for her role as sexy floozy/factory worker Ginny Moorhead in director Vincente Minnelli's second film of the year, Some Came Running (with

 five nominations and no wins) - from James Jones' follow-up novel to From Here to Eternity (1953) .

In the Best Supporting Actor category, Burl Ives (with his sole nomination) won as western patriarch and scruffy rancher Rufus Hannassey, caught in the murderous water-rights dispute with Charlton Heston, Charles Bickford and Gregory Peck in director William Wyler's sweeping epic western The Big Country. [Burl Ives played two other patriarchs in the same year: "Big Daddy" in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof , a much better performance than the one he was nominated for, and as a New England farmer in Desire Under the Elms.] The other Best Supporting Actor nominees were: Arthur Kennedy (with his fifth and last un-successful Oscar attempt) for his role as Frank Hirsh (Frank Sinatra's brother) in Some Came Running Lee J. Cobb (with his second and last unsuccessful nomination) as the family patriarch - Fyodor Karamazov in director Richard Brooks' Hollywood version of Dostoyevsky's novel, The Brothers Karamazov (the film's sole nomination) Theodore Bikel (with his sole nomination) as Sheriff Man Muller in The Defiant Ones Gig Young (with his second of three career nominations) as psychologist Dr.

Hugo Pine (Doris Day's boyfriend and rival to Clark Gable) in director George Seaton's comedy Teacher's Pet (with two nominations and no wins) British stage actress Dame Wendy Hiller won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar as Miss Pat Cooper - the lonely, efficient proprietor of a seaside guest house/hotel (the Hotel Beauregard in Bournemouth, England) and the engaged-to-be married mistress of divorced writer Burt Lancaster (a resident who is also rekindling his former marriage with the arrival of his vain, aging ex-wife and fashion model Rita Hayworth) in Separate Tables. [It was Hiller's first Oscar win (her first nomination was for Pygmalion (1938) and she would later be nominated, her third and final nomination, for A Man for All Seasons (1966))].

The other Best Supporting Actress nominees included: Peggy Cass (with her sole nomination) as ugly and plain secretary Agnes Gooch who becomes pregnant in Auntie Mame Martha Hyer (with her sole nomination) as college teacher Gwen French (in love with co-star Frank Sinatra) in Some Came Running Maureen Stapleton (with her first of four career nominations in her film debut role) as cripple's wife Fay Doyle in director Vincent Donehue's Lonelyhearts (the film's sole nomination) Cara Williams (with her sole nomination) as the unnamed, lonely mother in The Defiant Ones In the Short Subject: Cartoon awards category, Warner Bros.' Knighty Knight Bugs brought Bugs Bunny his first Oscar and Friz Freleng his fourth Oscar. In the Oscar-winning Looney Tunes cartoon, a medieval court jester Bugs Bunny must recover the Singing Sword from the evil Black Knight (Yosemite Sam). Freleng's previous Oscar wins were for Tweety Pie (1947), Speedy Gonzalez (1955), and Birds Anonymous (1957).

Oscar Snubs and Omissions: Two films that towered over the Best Picture nominess, but did not receive many deserved nominations and awards (including Best Picture) were the following two classic film gems: Alfred Hitchcock's greatest suspense-thriller Vertigo (it had only two unsuccessful, minor nominations for Best Sound and Best Art Direction/Set Decoration) with the films' great un-nominated stars: James Stewart (as retired San Francisco detective John "Scottie" Ferguson afflicted with both acrophobia and necrophilia) in a perverse relationship with Kim Novak (in a complex dual role as Madeleine Elser/Judy Barton) who Scottie 'made over' to resemble his previous love Orson Welles' last noirish masterpiece about evil doings in a bordertown, Touch Of Evil (completely un-nominated), in which the director starred as obese, cigar-smoking, corrupt veteran police detective Hank Quinlan Another film, a complex drama titled Some Came Running, from this year's honored director Vincente Minnelli, had five (unsuccessful) nominations (Best Actress, Best Costume Design, Best Song, Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress), the film didn't receive a Best Picture nomination - probably because it was pushed aside

 by Gigi.

Stanley Donen's sophisticated romantic comedy Indiscreet, with Cary Grant and Ingrid Bergman (now triumphantly back in Hollywood), lacked nominations. Although Alec Guinness won the Best Actor Oscar for The Bridge On The River Kwai (1957) in the previous year, he was un-nominated for another great role as unorthodox painter Gulley Jimson in this year's British comedy The Horse's Mouth. And while Spencer Tracy was nominated as Best Actor for The Old Man and the Sea this year, he was neglected for another role as political boss Frank Skeffington in John Ford's political drama The Last Hurrah (completely unnominated). And Rock Hudson was un-nominated for his performance as Burke Devlin in Douglas Sirk's excellent melodrama adapted from a Faulkner novel, The Tarnished Angels (also unnominated). Two actresses who should have been included in the list of Best Actress nominees were Ingrid Bergman for her role as American missionary-to-China Gladys Aylward in nominated director Mark Robson's The Inn of the Sixth Happiness, and Kim Stanley in her debut film as a self-destructive film star in The Goddess.

And one of the stars of the honored Gigi - Hermione Gingold - failed to be nominated for her supporting role as a mischievous witch in Bell, Book and Candle - a film that also starred James Stewart and Kim Novak, the major characters in Hitchcock's Film & TV Productions Shot In The South-Central Region, 1910- The South-Central Region On Screen Film & TV Productions Shot On Location In The South-Central Region, 1910- This table covers, in chronological order, drama productions which had significant location filming in the region. (You can just use Control-F to search for a particular title or other keyword - each entry begins with the relevant county or town to facilitate this.) Below is a listing of feature films and TV dramas shot in the south-central region, by year, with an identifying production credit, together with its main locations. Short films, of which there have been dozens due to the presence of local film schools, documentaries, and adverts are not normally included.

(An exception is made for the first few titles, made when features were not common and the one-reel drama was standard, by film pioneer Cecil Hepworth, who began filming at Lulworth every summer as his favoured "repertory" location.) Only productions with noteworthy local filming are covered, and stories merely set here, with no local filming (as with the 1955 Moonfleet and the 1958 Separate Tables) are not listed. And only the local-interest locations are given - note that a film may have many other scenes shot elsewhere (eg town scenes for Broadchurch were largely shot near Bristol). Where a location doubles as another country (e.g. Studland as Dunkirk beach), this is indicated if possible.

TITLE/YR/DIR., PRODN CO.

Cecil Hepworth, Hepworth Manufacturing Co. Dorset This drama reenacting a famous lifeboat rescue by a Victorian teen, used Lulworth Cove and a cottage at West Lulworth village with shingle laid over its garden to disguise the fact it was inland. The Heart Of A Fishergirl 1910 Lewin Fitzhamon, Hepworth Manufacturing Co. Dorset This short was a similar type of sentimental 'rescue' drama to Hepworth's Grace Darling, fictional this time, again using Lulworth Cove. ("A fishergirl saves her sweetheart from drowning." -IMDB) Hawkeye Swims The Channel Lewin Fitzhamon, Hepworth Manufacturing Co. Dorset This now-lost comedy short was part of Hepworth's 'Hawkeye' series of the hero's misadventures, filmed in the sea off Durdle Door without a stunt double (which nearly cost the lead actor his life), and on the clifftop for a comic chase scene.

Hamlet Cecil Hepworth, Hepworth Manufacturing Co./ Hepworth Picture Plays Dorset The film is lost, but presumably this was a historical drama about the infamous incident in the early days of Richard III, made reusing the Hamlet-Elsinore castle set at Lulworth Cove. Tilly And The Coastguards Cecil Hepworth, Hepworth Manufacturing Co./ Hepworth Picture Plays Dorset This was part of Hepworth's "Tilly" comedy-adventure series, which used the same the Hamlet-Elsinore castle set at Lulworth before wind and rain demolished it over the winter. Hearts Of The World DW Griffith, War Office Wiltshire The project was commissioned by Lord Beaverbrook to help the war effort, the War Office arranging for thousands of troops to be deployed for the cameras on Salisbury Plain, this footage being integrated with scenes Griffith shot at the Front in France, where the story is set. The Mayor Of Casterbridge Directed by Harry Watt Wilts? This wartime service comedy/ musical starring Tommy Trinder has a key scene set at Stonehenge, which may be a first onscreen use of the site. The plot has it turn into a time-travel portal which transports the trio to ancient Rome.

As to whether the scene was actually shot at Stonehenge, the director had a documentary background and would specialise postwar in difficult location filming for Balcon’s Ealing Studio. School For Secrets (US title Secret Flight) 1946 Peter Ustinov, Two Cities/Rank Poole Writer-director Peter Ustinov's caricature of the backroom scientific boffins who developed WW2 radar initially has an unidentified setting by the sea which may represent (via a few soundstage sets and some shots of radar arrays) the actual, then still hush-hush one at Worth Matravers on the Purbeck coast. The rest of the story is set in an inland suburban town Ustinov facetiously named 'Kippenhampton,' which would be based on Malvern where the real-life boffins moved for fear of enemy reprisals. There is a final scene showing a VE-parade on Poole Quay and a flying boat departing Poole Harbour.

The Guinea Pig John Eldridge, Group 3 Dorset, Devon The Cerne Abbas area was used for most of the non-coastal location scenes, it being the closest point to London where rolling West Country landscape complete with chalk tracks appears, the hills above Cerne being on the London-Exeter pack road now the A30 [both mentioned in the script]. Maiden Newton station is seen briefly; Cerne Abbas village appears in various scenes set around the rendezvous at 'the New Inn', filmed at an old coaching courtyard inn which still exists (though refurbished), the village's Tithe Barn also appears, while the courthouse finale was shot at the Old Crown Court in Dorchester. (For the production background on this attempt by Grierson's Group 3 to emulate the Ealing comedies, see our page here .) Rough Shoot various, ITV Dorset The Avengerland website reports two episodes of the first [half-hour] series used the bay known as Chapman's Pool in Purbeck for action scenes. In 'The Gallows Tree,' it doubles for northern Scotland, it and the downs above seen when Drake is nearly driven over the cliff by a Land Rover.

In 'The Brothers,' the establishing shot of the bay is reused to double as a bay in Sicily. The Key Carol Reed, Columbia Pictures Dorset This unusual WWII drama, starring William Holden and Sophia Loren, of the unarmed Merchant Navy tugboats sent out to rescue torpedoed ships left behind in "U Boat Alley" by Channel convoys, was filmed largely at Portland Naval base and in the rough waters off Portland, with a few town-billet scenes in adjoining Weymouth. Bobbikins ??, ITV Wiltshire This adaptation for ITVï¿½s Play Of The Week slot would at this stage be shot mainly in a tv studio but had its finale shot on location at Stonehenge. The Grass Is Greener Stanley Donen, Universal Wiltshire This stage adaptation, starring Cary Grant and Deborah Kerr as cash-poor gentry forced to open their stately home to tourists, used Lacock Abbey to portray the tradition and heritage Kerr feels duty-bound to maintain in the face of the temptations represented by Robert Mitchum as a gatecrashing American and Jean Simmons as a visiting London socialite.

(The main exteriors are of Osterley Park near London, so the Abbey must have been used for interiors, though the grounds may also have been used.) Petticoat Pirates Herbert Wise, Merton Park Studios Bournemouth, Poole Directed by a longtime TV veteran (I Claudius, Brother Cadfael etc), this B-movie adaptation of an Edgar Wallace crime story about a doomed detective reminiscent of the Hollywood classic Double Indemnity opens and closes on Bournemouth Pier, and also has a glimpse of Poole's Sandbanks district. West 11 Michael Winner, Angel Prodns Dorset This crime drama, starring Alfred Lynch and Diana Dors, had scenes shot at Corfe Castle village. Tom Jones Tony Richardson, Woodfall Films/ UA Dorset This satiric recreation of the old West Country Squirearchy intercut scenes was shot in West Somerset and central Dorset, using new fast film stocks and handheld cameras for an all-location shoot avoiding the usual floodlit period interiors. Cranborne Manor portrayed Squire Allworthy's estate, with the downs above used for the hunting and riding scenes.

For the exteriors of Squire Western and Sophie's estate, the remnant of Cerne Abbas manor house was used, plus Minterne Magna Gardens with its ornamental lake (over which a rustic footbridge was built for filming). Sophie elopes from Cerne Abbey's former gatehouse, and the stag-hunt meet is in Cerne's Tudor-fronted "Street of Memories". Doctor Who Herbert Ross, MGM Dorset Sherborne's famous boys prep school plays a major supporting role in this production, a musical version of the James Hilton novel, scripted by Terence Rattigan, starring Peter O'Toole, and shot by Dorset-resident Oswald Morris in 70mm Panavision. The railway station and other parts of the town are also seen. Department S [various], ITC Poole, Dorset The episode 'The Treasure Of The Costa Del Sol' has exteriors showing the road past Branksome Chine, and Studland coast road and beach double as Torremolinos. The ep 'Blackout' also uses Studland road and beach, this time as the Bahamas. The Bed-Sitting Room BBC Dorset The series was made with major official cooperation for authenticity.

For exterior shots, the series used, as 'HMS Hero', various frigates including HMS Phoebe which had been 'adopted' by the people of Bournemouth, and was thus sometimes seen in the Bay; although exteriors were filmed internationally, some scenes were still shot locally, doubling overseas story locales. A North African night landing scene was shot using that old standby for tropical beach settings, Studland Beach, dressed with a few palm trees. A County guide notes Lulworth Cove and Portland were also used (presumably this was as the unfriendly North-African port in 'A Standing and Jumping War'). The Pallisers Hugh David, BBC Wiltshire The National Trust's Stourhead estate appeared in the opening garden-party scenes of this 26-part adaptation of Trollope's 6-novel sequence, co-starring Susan Hampshire. Brief Encounter Mike Leigh, BBC Dorset BBC Birmingham head of drama David Rose, who grew up in Swanage, suggested the idea for this cult black comedy about a camping holiday here, the entire film being shot outdoors (apart from a brief scene in Corfeï¿½s Greyhound pub).

A couple of council workers, the Pratts, drive down in their Morris Minor coupe and get into arguments with campsite neighbours etc. On view are Sandbanks Ferry, Corfe, Purbeck Hills, a Purbeck quarry [dino footprint scene], Old Harry Rocks, Lulworth, the coastal path to St Aldhelm's and The Square & Compass pub at Worth Matravers. Rogue Male BBC E Somerset For this popular tv sitcom (originally written for radio), the Cricket St. Thomas estate was used for the house exteriors and grounds of "Grantleigh Manor", situated north of Lyme (as it is in reality). Surrounding roads were also used, and the local rail station. A Question Of Guilt various dirs, BBC Dorset Some exteriors seem to have been filmed in Evershot for this portmanteau historical docudrama series on female murder suspects.

Spearhead various dirs, Southern TV Wiltshire This ï¿½Excellently doneï¿½ (Halliwellï¿½s TV handbook) drama series, about a platoon of the fictitious ï¿½Royal Wessex Rangersï¿½ regiment based at Tidworth in south-east Wiltshire and serving in Hong Kong, Ulster etc, included some ï¿½homeï¿½ scenes set in Wessex, as well as using Wilts to double as Ulster and probably other countries. To Serve Them All My Days 1980 BBC Dorset In this 13-part adaptation by Andrew Davies of an RF Delderfield novel-sequence, Milton Abbey School was used to portray a West Country school, "Bamfylde," in the decades after WWI. Hannah BBC Bournemouth, Dorset, Wiltshire The famous episode 'A Touch of Glass,' where the boys are hired to clean a priceless chandelier was filmed in West Dorset. The opening was at Sutton Waldron (between Shaftesbury and Blandford), and the stately home, Clayesmore School (the former Iwerne Manor) near Blandford.

The village of Iwerne Minster was also used for the Cornwall-set 1983 episode 'Friday The 14th'. In 'It Never Rains', Knoll House Hotel, nearby Studland Beach and Bournemouth doubled for Benidorm. The series's London-set exteriors were mainly shot at Bristol, but Salisbury was used for various street-market scenes, and sometimes for scenes at the boys' local pub. By The Sea Bill Wilson, BBC Dorset, Poole In this Two Ronnies special, a slapstick attempt at seaside-postcard humour, Swanage and Studland play the resort of 'Tiddley Cove.' Locations include Swanage steam-railway station, pier (as it was then) and seafront, Swanage's Grand Hotel and Studland's Knoll House Hotel grounds, Studland Beach (with beach huts), and Poole Park railway. Remembrance Locations for this religious biopic about the 14th-C reformer include Athelhampton House.

Miss Marple BBC Hampshire, Bournemouth, Poole, Dorset This long-running series, starring John Hickson, faithfully adapted all the Marple novels, usually as 2- or 3-part hour-long episodes (often later compiled into telefeatures). Nether Wallop in Hampshire portayed Miss Marple's home village of 'St Mary Mead'; Bournemouth appeared in ï¿½The Body In The Libraryï¿½, where parts of the Carlton, Highcliff and Royal Bath Hotels portray 'The Majestic,' the story's large seafront hotel in "Danemouth", and old Council buildings in Shillito Rd in Branksome (Poole) portray the police HQ. The west Dorset villages of West Milton-Powerstock appear (as 'Chipping Cleghorn') in ï¿½A Murder Is Announcedï¿½ while Sherborne plays the nearby spa town of Medenham where Marple stays; Milton Abbas village, West Bay and (as "Dillmouth") Lyme Regis (incl.

the Undercliff) appear in 'Sleeping Murder.' Somerley House near Ringwood appears in "The Mirror Crack'd From Side To Side." The Russian Soldier various, BBC Poole, Hampshire, Dorset This 10-part Saturday-evening drama from the producer of Juliet Bravo and The Onedin Line, about the work of Customs & Excise, was set in a fictional Dorset port (called 'Wrelling') and was the major use to date of Poole as a location. Locations include Poole Harbour, Yacht Club, Customs House, quayside, town centre, Upton House [casino], The Mansion House (restaurant), King Charles Inn, Sandbanks [esplanade], Compton Acres Gardens [gardens of 2 upmarket homes], Lilliput [church hall]; and Hamworthy [pier]. There are also nearby Dorset locations: Creech Grange [as French chateau]; Hurn Airport [as 'West Holme' airport]; Studland [beach], Sturminster Newton [livestock market], as well as Boscombe [ice-cream factory].

Howard's Way Leonard Lewis, BBC/A&E Dorset Dorset This longer and more faithful adaptation of Josephine Tey's classic identity-switch thriller [see Paranoiac, 1961] was also partly shot on the Dorset coast, this time at Smedmore House above Kimmeridge Bay. Comrades Bill Douglas, BFI/Skreba Dorset For this realistic 3-hour re-enactment of the 1830s Tolpuddle Martyrs episode, Tolpuddle is played by Tyneham, the long-deserted Purbeck hamlet taken over by the MOD in WW2, here dressed with 'cob' textured plaster facades. (The snow is real.) Dorchester plays itself in the court, jail, printer's shop, and High Street scenes. Maiden Castle and the Lulworth Ranges appear as the surrounding countryside, with Cerne Giant glimpsed in the opening. Parts of Piddlehinton were used and a church interior was also shot at Winterborne Whitechurch. JerUSalem Andrew Grieve, HTV Somerset? This is a remake of a Hitchcock film script shot in Hollywood in 1941, but here filmed on location.

While the original novel (a 1932 cult crime novel) was set in Dorset, the adaptation (which keeps the 1941 ending) is set in Somerset, where it appears it was mainly filmed [details not known]. Full Metal Jacket Stanley Kubrick, WB Dorset Due to his fear of flying, Kubrick shot his films in Britain, and Dorset was reportedly used for some roadside scenes of the soldiers advancing. The IMDB has Dorset used for "Vietnam countryside scenes" but no details are given.(There are also rumours he filmed a scene at Compton Acres ornamental gardens in Poole.) Maurice Elijah Moshinsky, BBC/A&E Dorset For this 3-part Malcolm Bradbury adaptation of Kingsley Amis's ghost-story-as-Christian-parable novel, West Dorset doubled the Cambridgeshire locale. This was perhaps due to its star Albert Finney, who had long owned the film rights, having filmed in this area in 1963 for Tom Jones, and knew it held old woodlands suitable for the scenes where trees come to life.

Exteriors were filmed, in high summer, on a wooded private estate owned by an Austrian millionaire which held an 18th-C manor house (Upcerne Manor and Dominey's Yard by Buckland Newton have both been suggested), representing the eponymous haunted inn.

Five Children And It (US video title: The Sand Fairy) 1991 Marilyn Fox, BBC Dorset This Edwardian children's serial from The Strand Magazine serial The Psammead, the first part of the "5 Children" trilogy by Railway Children author E.Nesbit, was exterior-shot around Wolfeton near Dorchester, with a local sandpit used for the scene where the children find a wish-granting Psammead or "sand fairy." (Not to be confused with the 2004 feature remake, this 2nd BBC version of the novel was followed by a BBC spinoff serial with a different cast, Return Of The Psammead [qv] in 1993, and then part two of the original trilogy, The Phoenix And The Carpet, in 1997, qv) A Murder Of Quality Gavin Millar, Thames TV Dorset John le Carre's adaptation of an early 'Smiley' novel, where he investigates a murder at his old school, starring Denholm Elliot and Glenda Jackson, and done as a postwar period piece, was no doubt filmed at Sherborne as LeCarre himself attended school here.

The Abbey, the high street and parts of the boys' school appear. The Secret Life Of Arnold Bax 1992 Marilyn Fox, BBC Salisbury The 6-part TV adaptation of Diana Wynne Jones's children's 1984 modern-Gothic fantasy novel was filmed in Salisbury. Mulberry BBC Bournemouth, Dorset BBC's never-completed supernatural comedy-drama series, Karl Howman's followup to his sitcom Brush Strokes [which may have shot exteriors locally], filmed exteriors in and around the Bournemouth area (Throop Mill, Westbourne Arcade, town centre), using High Hall house near Wimborne as the central locale, with some village exteriors shot nearby at Witchampton. Purbeck towns [Wool rail station, Wareham bridge] also appear. Other locations include the Agglestone on Purbeck Heath, and Wimborne Town Football Club. Robin Hood - Prince Of Thieves 1992 Simon Langton, BBC Wiltshire This international hit drama-serial version starring Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth was shot at over 20 locations around England.

The local-interest ones are in Wiltshire: Lacock preserved village (Meryton village scenes, with The Red Lion Pub as the Assembly Rooms) and Abbey (as Cambridge university interiors), plus nearby Luckington Court (as 'Longbourn,' the Bennet family home), Luckington Church being used for the wedding scene. Sense And Sensibility Ang Lee, Columbia Dorset, Somerset, Wiltshire This feature adaptation starring Emma Thompson was largely shot in south Devon. Locations closer to home include Montacute House in Somerset as ï¿½Clevelandï¿½, home to the Palmers (where Marianne falls ill), and several locations in Salisbury - Mompesson House played the house where the family stay on their London visit, Cathedral Close played a London street, nearby Wilton House's Double Cube Room was used for the London ball scene, and Trafalgar Park south of Salisbury played Barton Park. Winterborne Clenston Church near Blandford in Dorset was also reportedly used for the wedding. Evershot was used for a street scene.

Persuasion Jane Campion, Polygram Wiltshire This adaptation of Henry James's novel by New Zealand director Jane Campion used a range of locations, including Wilton House and Heale House Gardens north of Salisbury. The Missing Postman Alan Dossor, BBC Scotland Poole, Dorset This 2-parter was largely shot locally, in the area where author/scriptwriter Mark Wallington (of 500 Mile Walkies fame) grew up, and the novel is initially set in this area, though in a fictional town, 'Holmouth.' The protagonist's home is in the Hamworthy district of Poole, and the Police Station, Baiter Park, the JobCentre, Parkstone sorting centre and other parts of Poole are seen. Wareham Bridge, a Stour bridge and the main road past Badbury area also doubled for a few other non-local story locales during the postman's epic cycle ride up to the Isle of Arran in Scotland. Moll Flanders Andrew Grieve, ITV Wiltshire For this feature-length episode of David Suchet-as-Poirot series, Castle Combe played the fictional village of King's Abbott.

Ruf der Vergangenheit Rolf von Sydow, ZDF/FFP Entertainment Dorset, Bournemouth Part of the next batch [see entries below] of Rosamunde Pilcher romance-novel adaptations for German state TV set and filmed locally. Opening shots show the Poole-Studland ferry; main locations are Canford School [as a prep school], Bournemouth beach [kiss by Pier illuminations], Wimborne Minster [home furnishings shop] and clifftop by coastguard cottages at St Alban's Head overlooking Chapmans Pool. Redbrick building portraying small hospital, and woodland cemetery locations not yet identified. Im Licht des Feuers Hans Werner, ZDF/FFP Entertainment Dorset. Bournemouth Another Rosamunde Pilcher romance-novel adaptation for German state TV. Opening aerials of Old Harry Rocks, Studland Beach, Durlston lighthouse.

London -- Dame Wendy Hiller, one of Britain's finest actresses and George Bernard Shaw's chosen leading lady, who had a 50-year career as a stage star and Oscar-winning film actress, died Wednesday, May 14th, 2003 at her home in Beaconsfield, west of London. A tall, handsome woman with regal bearing and a rich, distinctive voice, Hiller in later life was frequently cast in aristocratic roles that suited her natural hauteur.

She achieved fame early in her career as a girl from the slums in the 1934 Manchester Repertory production of "Love on the Dole." Playing that role in London, she caught the eye of George Bernard Shaw, who cast her as Eliza Doolittle in "Pygmalion" on stage in 1936 and on screen two years later. Hiller joined the Manchester Repertory Theater at age 18, and four years later won the lead in "Love on the Dole." It was a hit that carried her to London and Broadway, and led to Shaw's offer of leading roles in theater festival productions of "Pygmalion" and "Saint Joan" in 1936. "Love on the Dole" brought happiness as well as fame -- in 1937, she married Ronald Gow, a stage-struck schoolmaster who had adapted the play from Walter Greenwood's novel. Gow died on April 27th, 1993.

Following her appearance in Anthony Asquith's film version of "Pygmalion," Hiller starred in 1941 in Shaw's "MAJOR BARBARA," one of her most memorable film roles. Many years later, Hiller won a best supporting actress Academy award for her work in "SEPARATE TABLES" (1958) and was made a dame -- the equivalent of a knight -- in 1975. Wendy Hiller was born on August 15th, 1912, and reared in the northern city of Manchester, where her father was in the cotton-spinning business. "Luckily, West End audiences seem to rather like very old people," she said. "They think, 'My God, we saw her acting in the war and there she is still doing it,' and mentally they give you a sort of prize for sheer survival, as long as you turn up every night and remember most of the lines. Not that it ever gets any easier to do." Dame Wendy Hiller is survived by a son, Anthony: and a daughter, Ann.
