The houses--Grenada or barbados?


I see the movie was filmed on both Grenada and Barbados. On which island were the two houses they used? I mean James Mason's plantation and his parents' home, of course.

His parents' home was very artful studio set; concrete blocks and massive flower arrangements.

yeah i think they fib on some of the older films, citing real locations when it was actually doctored.

disappointing, though. i'd like to think it was filmed there.

on a side note, i'm struck by how bad the audio is. i can hardly hear any of it.

Maxwell Fleury's mansion was Farley Hill Mansion in Barbados. Not long after the filming there, the mansion burned and is now just ruins.
