Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - Aberdeen Waterfront, Hong Kong

Moving on to Episode 3 - Pearl Flower - and it's about a visitor to HK who, on the spur of the moment decides to check out a little girl that her company has been sponsoring with gift packages and the like. It turns out it was just a front for running some dodgy mail shipment system to a criminal in Ko Shing Street.

There are really no proper on-locale scenes in this film and it looks like all outdoor footage was shot back in the US with just a few proper establishing shots to maintain the illusion of us being in Hong Kong. First up is this interesting footage from Aberdeen Harbour looking back towards the town's waterfront.

For the real movie buffs who read this, you may be interested to note that this episode featured a very young looking Aki Aleong as one of the two main bad guys.

The latter two images are showing the old building that used to sit on the curve as the Praya road reached town. This building survived all the way to 1979/80 before being replaced by the current Shanghai Commercial Bank Building. In fact, those who actually pay attention to these scribblings may recall that the old building was supposedly one of Vanessa's newly acquired brothels in the 1977 film, Vanessa (see second from last image). Here is a stitch of the two images above.
