Hong Kong (series) - Rod Taylor (1960) - Deepwater Bay, Hong Kong

Episode 9, The Turncoat, centres around a man who was one of the American "turncoats" following the cessation of hostilities during the Korean War i.e. defected and decided to stay in North Korea. In this episode he has had enough of his life and wishes to gain a passport/passage to another country in return for revealing the location of a drug haul he has been paid to bring into Hong Kong.

The show starts with a small boat off the coast of Hong Kong as he swims into Deepwater Bay. Look carefully and you can just make out podium wall of the famous "Arrowhead" house in the background (left). This was the property owned (and built) by Alfredo Alvares that featured in Love is a Many-Splendored Thing.
