I need some help in deciphering a
mystery location.
I was watching TCM earlier today and they showed a short film from 1941 titled 'Coffin on Wheels'. The location of the pivotal crash scene has really piqued my interest.
I believe it's two different locations spliced together. . .of course I could be wrong.
(it happens)
The accident sequence begins. (12:24)
Lots of clues here. Note the multiple garages on the left.
Then the film inexplicably cuts to this. . .
. .which looks completely rural. (but the garages might be just out of site on the right)
Surprisingly, we see this next. . .
. . .which I believe is Westwood.
Next, the car load of kids come barreling down the road out of control due to faulty brakes.
HEEEEEEELP!
Next, we see the truck in image #3 turn the corner.
Next, we see this view from the car barreling down the road.
LOOK OUT!
SCReeeeeeeech!!
Note the line of garages again.
The aftermath.
Kids strewn about.
Next, the ambulance arrives and parks.
The ambulance leaves. This is the last scene in the crash sequence.
I would especially like to know where the rather steep road with the line of garages is located.
Here's the film if you'd like to see the crash in motion. As I said earlier the sequence begins at 12:24. (the whole film is worth watching)
