Kill or Cure is a 1962 British comedy film, in which an inept private investigator is called to look into the strange goings-on at a health club. It was filmed mainly at Aldenham House in Elstree, Hertfordshire in the summer of 1961. The house was used for many of the inside shots together with the surrounding parkland for the holiday chalets. Filming was still taking place in September 1961 as the Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School moved into a new school built on the rest of the site, relocating from Hampstead. The house became the administrative centre for the school with the school reception being where the hotel reception is in the film.
