from 1976 that looks as though it wasn't released in Hong Kong until 1978. There is a later still in this film of the front of the Hoover Theatre that shows that it was indeed showing at the time.

Felicity - Glory Annen (1978) - Wanchai Ferry Pier, Wanchai
This one is up for debate but I will stick my neck out and say that I think this is the old Star Ferry pier at Wanchai. It's closed now and a new one located in front of the new reclamation has taken its place, so it's a bit difficult to know for sure, but the position of Beacon Hill and Lion Rock in the distance on the third image seems to tally with the old Wanchai location. Check out the Cat 3 worthy advert in the background. Let's Make a Dirty Movie was a French comedy (French title: Attention les yeux!)

Hi Phil,
Yes, that was the same pier but back then, it was operated by HYF. The ferry in the screen capture was an HFY one too. Unable to to read its name though.
May have to check the old schedules somewhere. The screen capture appeared to show it was departing on the West side of the pier. That made it very likely going to Jordan Road. If it departed on the East side it would be going to Hung Hom or Kowloon City.

Thanks for the correction, Thomas. Even in the short time I have been here the ferry routes and schedules have all changed or completely axed.
