Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - 41a Conduit Road, Mid-levels

I mentioned in a previous post that the Mok Villa at 41a Conduit Road popped up again in a later episode and here it is in The Turncoat. In this episode it is, as it was in reality, the venue of the Foreign Correspondents Club (F.C.C) and is where Evans goes to meet a Chinese journalist who has reached out to him. He's expecting a male colleague but instead is met by a female in the form of Lisa Lu who wants him to help her boyfriend, the so-called "turncoat", escape to another country.

Sadly, we are only treated to a close up of the main entrance and the columns of its portico, so for those who need a reminder of what it looked like from another angle, here is the post from Love is a Many-Splendored Thing.
