This is a thread about the movies in Hollywood and abroad that are set in Britain or Ireland but are not filmed there?Unconvincing 'British' settings in foreign films and TV shows
having talked about this in the columbo forum, i have decided to set up a thread about this sort of thing. We'll ignore columbo, and hart to hart and magnum, but what are your memories of films set in blighty and ireland, that clearyl weren't made there. i like the time machine, and my fair lady was one too, although it is awful. dial m for murder, plenty ofu niversal horrors.
