Peterloo Massacre film / Films made in Mancheter

[squirtyflower]

Cracking little film.

I watched it on DVD and when his head popped up, in a gym class in school I think, I thought ‘what the...’

Shooting Stars. I don't remember the year early 90's?

It was filmed in 1990 I think because it had the main actor running out against Liverpool when we lost 4-1 Clive allen penalty.

Scully was filmed in Hulme.

 

[Elbow beards]

Scully was filmed in Hulme.

When I initially read that I thought "I don't remember a river large enough to land a passanger plane in Hulme!"

 

[Midlands Blue]

Film spin off from the sit-com...The Lovers was filmed around Manchester . IIRC, main characters filmed on the top deck of a bus going down Alexandra Rd in Moss Side and also on the steps of the art gallery Mosley Street amongst other places. 1972

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Lindsay Anderson's short film The White Bus:

The main character, only referred to as 'the girl' (Patricia Healey) leaves London, goes north on a train full of football fans and takes a trip in a white double-decker bus around an unnamed city she is visiting, although it is clearly based on Manchester; Delaney was born and grew in nearby Salford. The Mayor (Arthur Lowe), a local businessman, and the council's ceremonial macebearer (John Sharp) happen also to be taking the trip while they show the city to visiting foreigners.

Locations include Albert Square and its landmark, the Town Hall and the nearby Central Library. The 'model estate' of high-rise flats was shot on the Kersal Flats estate, while the factory sequences were shot in Trafford Park, including the Metropolitan-Vickers works. It also featured scenes on Cheetham Hill Road and inside Cheetham College (now demolished).

Both the exterior and interior shots of the school were taken in the former Pendleton High School for Girls - now mainly demolished, but with the original Victorian building converted to a retirement home. Using local people, Anderson also staged parodies of paintings by Manet (Le déjeuner sur l'herbe), Fragonard and Goya in Buile Hill Park in Salford. It was Anthony Hopkins film debut in a small role, while Stephen Moore is a young bowler-hatted, possibly upper-class, man who pesters the heroine with nonsense[4] on the station in London. She may know him, as she says "I'll write." from the train.
