Hello Gary

 

Well your message certainly has an Australian flavour.

 

Leo McKern was born in Sydney in 1920 and died in the UK in 2002. An intere=
sting snippet about McKern was that he was frightened of flying so used to =
do his international travelling by cargo ship.

 

A bit of a mix-up with =E2=80=98On the Beach=E2=80=99 as the car was a BN4 =
and still exists in our state of Victoria plus the scenes of the film were =
set in an around Melbourne and not Sydney.

Cool, Rick. I figured someone would have information. We did record the mov=
ie, but haven't watched it yet. Leo McKern is one of my favorites... "Ah, I=
'm being called by She Who Must be Obeyed."

 

I did see the same thing with them clipping a wider mirror into the origina=
l holder to do the "two-shot." But the wider mirror would actually be a nic=
e accessory. Wonder if anyone ever made them?

 

And my favorite Healey siting scene is still one of the closing scenes of O=
n the Beach, where she stands next to her BN6, watching the submarine come =
out under the Sydney bridge. Good eyes can spot the stock factory blanking =
plate in the cockpit filling the space where the heater controls would have=
 gone, since the car had been produced for warmer climes without a heater.

 

Cheers
Gary

Hi Gary, 

 

Thanks for posting this.  I've become a "collector" of films that have Heal=
eys in them and have well over a hundred of them, but this wasn't one.  In =
watching the movie, I was wondering why it had such an oversized rear view =
mirror until I saw they used it to reflect both the driver and passenger in=
 the car in the same shot.  As a Mercedes guy, I'm surprised you didn't men=
tion the Gullwing Mercedes in the final scene, driven by Leo McKern, later =
famed for "Rumpole of the Bailey"  The whole movie is available here:  http=
s://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Db8v5vgk1cME

 

Healthy Healeying,

Rick Neville
