Watched Norman wisdom film There was a crooked man for first time yesterday because it was filmed in Darwen, here a pic of the film town centre looking down the way in the film, and the other pic is same area but looking up the way from main road direction, 3rd picture it what it looks like now on the right the scene where they looked out the window and looking at the town hall and public toilets,
Shame they couldn't do now for real what they did in the film and blow it up,
Also found out 2 my friends have said one of their parents had a background part in the film amongst the crowds.
The film had been unavailable for many years. It had one television screening on ITV on Boxing Day in 1965. It was shown publicly for the first time in over 40 years in Darwen, Lancashire, where it was filmed, in 2008.
The film was released on DVD on 8 May 2017.
