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

A final post from Colonel Cat and it's the establishing shot for the closing scene as Tully and Evans convalesce in hospital following their tussle with the ruthless Japanese Colonel himself. The shot for the hospital appears to have taken some inspiration from Love is a Many-Splendored Thing and used the former Mok Villa at 41a Conduit Road (in that film, it was also supposed to be the hospital where Han Suyin practiced her medicine). Sadly the shot is so brief that if you blink you'll miss it. The building was demolished in the late 60's and Realty Gardens was built on the site. It pops up again, briefly, in the next episode in its true form for the time: the F.C.C.
