Notes:


Me at Largo Das Portas de Sol

The scene begins with Ned opening the curtains of the interrogation room at Palacio dos Condes Do Vimosio,  Rua Ivens, then Barley is seen walking out on to what initially appears to be a veranda of the same building, with Ned and Walter.  In fact, the scene is shot some distance from the Palacio, at the other side of town, at Largo Das Portas Do Sol – a famous panoramic vantage point overlooking the Alfama district and out towards the Tagus river.






"choose someone else", "we didn't choose you, Dante did"
Recruitment

Location:
Rua Das Escolas Gerais
Lisbon
Portugal

Details:
Barley heading back to his flat, with Walter and Ned following at a distance.  A tram is seen descending a hill and turns a corner at the building where Barley’s has his flat.

Notes:
The number 28 tram stops at the Das Portas Do Sol, the continues round past Barleys flat, which us on the corner of the street Ecolas das Gerais. In the film, the scene begins with a tram descending a small hill and turning the corner; as the camera pans round following the tram, Barley can then be seen walking towards his flat. For the tram enthusiast: this is a one- way section of the tram route, and back in 1989, when the film was made, the one way system was managed by a signal man who operated from a nearby bar, apparently.  On my trip in 2007, the signalman was no more. Replaced by an automated system. The signalman can be seen in this scene.  I remember passing this location but did not realise it was on the Russia House until after my trip
