I only added the part of the story that was about the filming.

VILLAGE EXCITED BY VISIT OF HOLLYWOOD STARS
Published 17/06/13
HOLLYWOOD stars descended on a Chilterns village to shoot scenes for a new film, writes Sian Gordon.
George Clooney, who stars in and is producing and directing Monuments Men, was among those who had their photos taken by star-struck residents of Fingest.
Other actors who were spotted included Matt Damon, Cate Blanchett and Jean Dujardin, star of The Artist.

Scenes for the wartime drama were shot at St Bartholomew’s Church and the cast and crew visited the village pub, the Chequers.
Andrew Morgan, of Greys Hill, Henley, went to the village specially to see the actors. Mr Morgan, who owns the Morgan Dental Clinic in Duke Street, said: “I was just buying the Henley Standard at W H Smith when I overheard the lady in front of me talking to a vicar, who was behind me. He said that George Clooney was filming at his church.
“I duly took myself up there, taking my dog as an excuse, and found they had taken over the whole village.
“They had used the church and apparently given strict instructions that the vicar should not cut the grass at the church for a month. They had made it look like a medieval church.
“George Clooney was sitting down and I walked up to him and said that I was a great fan and was there any chance of a photograph. I gave him the camera and he took the picture. I think it was my golden retriever that won him over.
“I also saw Matt Damon but was told that Cate Blanchett had left the set for the day. It was wonderful to see them all — you just do not expect something like that to happen when you are going about your normal day.”

Rev Jeremy Mais, associate priest, said: “I do not know how long the filming took but there was a fair bit of planning. They must have been there for one or two days setting up.
“All we got as local residents was a letter saying that a film crew was coming. Quite a few people went down and had a look.”
Monuments Men is based on the book, The Monuments Men: Allied Heroes, Nazi Thieves and the Greatest Treasure Hunt in History by Robert M Edsel.
It tells the true story of a special Allied task force, including art historians and museum curators, which recovered masterpieces stolen by Hitler during the Second World War.

Clooney stars as George Stout, former director of the Gardner Museum in Boston, Massachusetts, and Damon plays James Rorimer, an art historian and former director of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
The film, which also stars Bill Murray, John Goodman and Hugh Bonneville, is due to be released later this year.

George has been known to move about a lot when under cover. That may be what is happening. The man can hide well, right in full view. With his moustache, and a cap, dark shades, he can travel incognito. I think he's def been done filming and has had to ensure the set up and equipment was to be removed, after he left, so nobody could catch him going thru the airlines once he would have to remove his cap, glasses and let the check officers see him who he is.''I think He and Grant are already installed at COMO doing the editing. Why he hasn't been seen.

Mh yes could be. And if they start editing they will be inside working 24/7 and doing nothing else probably. So sad it's over

Title cracked me up. At a quick glance I thought he was filming in fingers. My imagination took a serious left turn there
