On the morning of his arrival in The
Village, The Prisoner eventually makes his way to the café, where a waitress
tells him they’ll be open in a minute. The Prisoner asks the waitress a number
of questions, including asking to use the telephone. There isn’t a telephone at
the café, however there is a telephone box around the corner, situated beneath
a yellow and white Triumphal arch. Well that’s in long shot, but in close-up
the telephone kiosk had moved! Moved, and placed in the archway leading down to
the Piazza! Why the need for the relocation, when the close-up shot, of the
Prisoner trying to make a telephone call, could have been adequately filmed in
the original location. But perhaps the close-up shots were filmed at a different
time, and in a different place due to a continuity error. Perhaps they thought
no-one would notice!
Be seeing you
