Wanted!

or.. help needed, because that is mainly what this page is about.

Even in this age, where you can find virtually anything with a push on the button, there are certain locations that we labelled 'unfindable'. Locations that are hardly recognizable in the films, locations even unknown to the people who worked on the films. 'But what about the call sheets?', you might wonder. Normally, locations are mentioned on the production call sheets. But sometimes, for reasons unknown, this information is incomplete or simply incorrect. And that's where you come in.

This can be your challenge. If you are up to it, perhaps you can help us identify the following Bond locations that have puzzled us for years.. If you have information that could help us, please use the form all the way at the bottom of this page. Thanks for your help!

FOUND!  Bond's Jamaican hotel 

In Dr. No (1962), the 'three blind mice' or beggars try to assassinate 007 when he enters his hotel. But where was this filmed? The actors playing the three hitmen were only used in scenes filmed in Kingston, so there's a good chance that this building was (or is) in Kingston as well. Can anyone help? Thanks to Dave Worrall we can now reveal that this scene was shot at the Courtleigh Manor House, a hotel in Kingston that has been demolished.

1 Convoy departs

Missing location from Goldfinger

In the 1964 Bond film Goldfinger, a convoy departs for Fort Knox, after Pussy's pilots dropped nerve gas on the area. This scene was most likely filmed around the real Fort Knox, since other scenes with this exact convoy (note that different vehicles were used for the USA filmed and UK filmed convoy) were filmed there as well. Plus, the steering wheels seem to be on the left, which makes another strong case for a US location, rather than a UK location.

2 Greek hotel

The Greek hotel Bond and Melina stay in remains a mystery. For Your Eyes Only (1981)
The Greek hotel Bond and Melina stay in, in For Your Eyes Only, also remains a mystery. Only visible for a split second, the place certainly has a Greek look to it. While the 'Hotel Bellavista' sign looks studio made (it is probably not even a real hotel), this building can most likely be found somewhere on Corfu, because of the presence of the Citroen 2CV. Other scenes for the film were shot in the Meteora region on the Greek main land, but it seems unlikely that the crew would transport the car there, only to use it in this tiny scene.
