The main location of the film is Greece, in particular Corfu, island in the Ionian sea where the Countess Lisl Von Schlaf is murdered on Issos Beach, and Meteora, on the north western edge of the Tessaglia plain, near the city of Kalambaka. Here, James has to climb the rock formation of immense natural pillars barehanded to reach the monastery of Aghia Triada, one of the six in the area.
After the London-based prologue, the investigation takes the spy to the Bahamas and Italy, to the Dolomites. At the Hotel Miramonti in Cortina d’Ampezzo (whose interiors were recreated on a sound stage), the message Tofana 10 a.m. is written on the misted bathroom mirror. The following scene sees the cable car travelling up to the peak of Tofana di Mezzo. James meets his contact at an altitude of 3,000+m overlooking the panorama of the Valle del Boite. In the Olympic Ice Stadium, he meets his antagonist with his ward, while the customary, spectacular chase scene takes place on the bobsled run.
